Pros

Half day Fridays and great benefits package. The gifted Christmas time is a huge one too. Hard working associates are the backbone of the organization. The organization has gotten slightly more progressive over the years, for example a more relaxed dress code and the ability to work from home during the pandemic.

Cons

There's a lot of potential, but some core issues stand in the way. The root of most of the issues come down to nepotism, micromanagement, and its business model. A quarter of the leadership is of relation and certain "contractors" are also of some relation. At times there is conflicting direction given from family members, leaving employees in awkward situations. Efforts were announced this year for more diversity and inclusion, but because the diversity is bottom-weighted it's not reflected in leadership. Theres also a hyperfocus on productivity which leads to micromanagement. This can leave employees who routinely go the extra mile feeling undervalued especially when recognition is given to those at the top.

We’re very thankful for the time you took to submit such a glowing review. We couldn’t agree more about our positive working environment. Hearing this kind of feedback makes our day. We work very hard to develop and foster a positive working culture and to keep growing our internship program.

Pros

Good benefits, and 4.5 day work week.

Cons

They really gaslight themselves as being a great company. This also gaslights the employees, which puts pressure on the employees to rate the company as a good company. They are very poorly managed, and do not have a good business model. Every year your manager says that this is the year that we are going to effectively use goals as part of your annual review process. Then when you express the desire to schedule time to work on your goals, your manager says that we really don't have time to work on goals. Then when they do your annual review, they just ignore goals completely. They also ask you to take surveys about the company culture, which are not anonymous, so you can't really be truthful without fear of retribution. They also have a habit of ignoring inner department issues, and then firing the person that reported the problem. This leads to a lot of people that are just gone. They don't let people give a 2 week notice either. No career advancement or internal training to improve communications, and other working skills. Compensation is at an average to low level. They settle for mediocre quality, and call it the best in the industry.
