Run - Anonymous employee Pennmark Management Employee Review

Responsive, Thoughtful, Kind, Competitive Pay

I would suggest doing a different payment provider like ADP

The CEO claimed to be (or had perhaps deluded himself into believing he was) seeking a legacy and expressed desire to mentor fresh employees who were not "pre programmed". The only pro I recall was that he gave me a "shot" to fill this role and, for whatever reason would pay for long, awkward, and unproductive lunches at the pizza place across the street to pepper me with hostile questions.

CEO was brutally abusive, relished in asking questions he was fully aware you could not have the answers to, and would continue to push the line of questioning for the sole perceptible purpose of reaffirming his own intelligence. I know 2 former employees as well and what other reviewers have said is completely true: promises of "mystery" income will never be defined or materialize, no training, no direction, no actual assignments, the most tense work environment you'll ever witness, unhappy employees, executives seeming to lack any moral responsibility for their employees, constant and public threats of being fired if you didn't somehow do what nobody had directed you to do, and the infamous afternoon naps by the CEO. I can appreciate the typical "sink or swim" environment, but this was sadistic. Witnessing the CEO treat his own family (employed there) with as little respect and consideration as he does the legions of employees who walk in and out of this place at least told me I wasn't being singled out.
