Pros

With turnover at 48% there is always the chance of being promoted. Vacation time is generous but you will be punished for taking it. If you can succeed in a dysfunctional, stress filled environment then you can succeed anywhere. Micro management will help you in your future endeavors because you thought twice before your "new boss" thought once. Working here is better than welfare.

Cons

Lack of leadership and vision where incompetence reigns supreme. You will be kicked to the curb for bruising your boss's ego. No matter how hard you work and what goals you achieve, in the end it really won't matter - (The company broke a record for money earned in a month and upper management was chewed out in the staff meeting??) You will be expected to hit deadlines that are unrealistic and unattainable but since greed is good, the company will take the job anyway. You will NOT receive a pay raise no matter how well you perform. 6 to 20 cents a year is good if you can even negotiate that. If you are going to make someone rich at your own expense than this it not the place you want to do it. Ownership/ Upper management is not likeable.

Pros

It's awesome to have a locally owned company in the Greater Cincinnati area., and the work force is diverse. There's a ton of employee events throughout the year, and a genuine effort is made to give back to the community.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

The annual chili cook-off was always fun and I enjoyed the company of my co-workers for the most part

Cons

First off, the owner and (former) CEO is kind of nuts. Nice guy to your face most of the time but clearly watched too much Fox News. He would regularly stuff pamphlets for COMPANY FUNDED right-wing webinars/guest speaking events in your mailbox that were politically charged at best and borderline neo-Nazi conspiracy propaganda at worst. Turned out the guy was basically running an ultra-conservative think tank out of the auditorium. Maybe if he had redirected some of his funds from his propaganda outfit to the actual company he wouldn't have had to sell/close the place, but alas. HUGE employee turnover and management problem. In my last year there the sales/customer service department alone went through no less than 6-7 managers because they'd either quit or get fired after just a couple of months, usually because of the confusing and unorganized SOPs and terrible senior leadership. Literally could not sell these frames because frankly the product was simply inferior to the competitors. The company demanded sales but put no effort into innovating their products, which were far too expensive for what they were offering. Plus the turnover was so high, training so poor, and pay so low that manufacturing mistakes occurred constantly. Prior to the company being sold off to its new owner in early 2024, the owner called an all-hands meeting one morning and fired nearly everyone on the spot with no warning, completely throwing away what little goodwill the employees had toward the company. You get the idea. Maybe the place has improved since being bought by another company, but if it has the same leadership then I highly doubt it.
