Pros

Phenomenal co-workers, decent perks (kitchen snacks, small game rooms, etc.), good work-life balance.

Cons

Lack of a true backbone in upper management, a CEO who is sometimes unwilling to listen to his employees, and quality ideas can get lost in the pipes or process.

Pros

Remote work. Employees are nice.

Cons

Leadership. Primarily the CEO and his wife, the VP of Operations. Their decision making skills consist of speaking in word stew for 30 minutes straight, yelling at employees openly and publicly, and lacking the base-level knowledge needed to successfully navigate employment law. I have been working for over 30 years and I have never in my life experienced such a toxic duo in a leadership team. If you're curious as to how toxic it can be, just take a look at how many HR leaders they've ran through in the last several years. No one in their right mind would stay on board to be a patsy for their detrimental and many time illegal employment practices. Discrimination, racism, removal of employee benefits, etc. This place is a dumpster fire, and the if the CEO doesn't do something about it soon the company won't be able to dig itself out of the hole it's currently in.
