Pros

The ONLY pros about this company are the co- workers

Cons

After reading all the other reviews it sounds like disgruntled employees, however they are all TRUE! They are family owned & they think that gives them the right to treat their employees with no regard, respect & berate them. They are also very unprofessional, fighting with each other & cursing at each other right in the office in front of all the employees. It was very uncomfortable at times. They also expect you to work past your normal work hours (9:00-5:30 with a half hour for lunch and NO BREAKS) and not get paid for it. I used to go in about 8:30 and stay late all the time, I never got paid and never even got a thank you. The only thing I got was reprimanded when I couldn't stay late. They also fire their employees for no reason, never caring about what may be going on in their life. Most of the employees that work there are working everyday with the fear that this will be the day that they get fired because that's what management does there, they fire you for no reason. That is the reason I say it's an unhealthy place to work. Who wants to work everyday with that kind of fear? I did it for over a year and it's not healthy! In the year and a half that I worked there I saw at least 45 people come and go (some quit, but most were fired), that alone speaks volumes about Gordon Sinclair. They also cheat their customers! If a customer over charges themselves on their PO's they keep the money, they never tell them that the item actually cost less. Being in customer service this was hard for me to do, I wanted to be fair and honest with the customer, but we were not allowed to. Finally, it is a dirty place to work. The rugs were filthy and stained and there was mold all over the leaky ceiling.

Pros

Working remotely is the only advantage

Cons

Working at this company was an exhausting experience. The leadership style feels erratic and inconsistent, creating a stressful environment where employees never know what to expect. Benefits are far below industry standards, and nothing about the compensation package makes dealing with the daily dysfunction worthwhile. The turnover is alarming. Instead of supporting and developing existing staff, management seems to cycle people out constantly, which leaves everyone on edge and creates a revolving-door atmosphere. No matter how hard you work, it often feels like it’s never enough, and the lack of stability can wear you down quickly. If you value a healthy work environment, predictable expectations, or long-term career growth, you may want to look elsewhere.
