Hold out for something better - Marketing Autoshop Solutions Employee Review

I was not employed with this company for a long period of time, but in my short tenure there, I saw several people fired and some who worked for a day and never returned. Employees: Young people, often fresh from college are hired. Typically, companies do this to foster growth and mold young people into the best employee for the company. At Autoshop Solutions, this is not the case. Employees are not compensated well, and get little to no insurance benefits. The company claims to have a work/life balance, but you are judged harshly if it's learned you have a life and that you want to live it. Only people with children are afforded the opportunity to come in late, volunteer at Field Day, or leave early to pick up the kids. Although the typical employee is around 25, many of my colleagues were extremely talented and knowledgeable about their field. Unfortunately, this led to management (who had no knowledge of current marketing strategies or web design/development) to feel extremely threatened by anyone who had intelligence. While there is a 90-day "trial period" (not uncommon at many companies), the belief is that employees who don't fit the mold are disposable. They don't vet the employee or check references on new hires. The attitude is "we'll just see if they work and if not, they're gone." This is awful for the company and for the employee who is given false hope of job security. Management: Aside from feeling threatened by intelligence, the owner/CEO comes across as extremely sexist by predominantly hiring pretty girls regardless of their qualifications. He also likes to take them to trade shows to chat up potential clients in a male dominated industry (auto mechanics). The three members of management also encourage you to speak freely in a one-on-one talk, but if you say something that someone doesn't want to hear, you're on the chopping block. Management also ridicules you if you have a personality or lifestyle choice (gay/vegetarian/atheist/democrat) that doesn't 100% fit what they think of as "normal." During a particularly drama-filled and chaotic time, the CEO gathered the entire company for a meeting and said, "I don't want to hear about any more drama. From here on out, this is a drama-free workplace. While you are all valuable, I can easily replace each of your positions." That is a direct quote. I wrote it down as he was saying it. Decision-Making: As other reviews have stated, many "high-priority" projects were abandoned or completely redone because they were not thought through and the goals were not clearly outlined from the beginning. No respect was given to the graphic designers or web-development team for their work - they were only asked why a logo couldn't be created in 2 days or why a website couldn't be built in 3 days. Each client was looked at as more money on the bottom-line and no client truly got a customized website, even though that is what Autoshop Solutions preaches. I also know the company is creating incentives for employees who post positive reviews about the company. This is leading to a false view of the organization.
