Pros
- Taught me many life lessons and not to look too far ahead based on empty words and promises. - Leaving there was the best thing that ever happened to me!
Cons
- Hostile environment - Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde syndrome -- you don't know who you are going to be talking to from one minute to the next - Manager is not above lying to suit his needs - Employee coercion - Perks promised, but don't count on them being delivered - The rules that apply to employees don't apply to the manager - Completely rigid - Long hours, which are completely unnecessary if time on task was more efficient - Manager talks of change to grow the business, but reluctant to do what it takes to make it happen - Once said - we can cuss & discuss, but at the end of the day we're all good -- not true -- it is his way or the highway - Asked to give up personal life and hobbies that you love and make you a more well-rounded employee, which you agree to because you think it is best for the job -- don't do it! It just makes you unhappy - Extreme distrust and paranoia - Immediately goes to the negative in any given situation - Talks to employees about other employees - Says that a "yes" person isn't what he wants, but he has surrounded himself with nothing but that
