Pros
Genuine people and relationships that you build.
Cons
Are you seeking chaos? Below-market compensation? How about the forced misrepresentation of culture by an out-of-touch management team? Well, you've got it all here. And before you think, "What is this person talking about? This company seems awesome"! Trust me, I thought the same thing. First off, the "CEO" knows best. He will exemplify this by overriding department heads, including managers, directors, VPs, and his puppet C-suite. The company had a pattern of hiring great people. The people working there are young, talented, creative, and caring. But they don't last long. How can you grow when you are micromanaged and questioned about every decision? I admired the brand before I worked here and was genuinely disappointed when I resigned. I will truly miss the relationships I shared with my colleagues, but most of them were gone before me. My advice to management? Work on retaining talent rather than replacing them with contractors who are there to collect a paycheck. Revisit the C-suite, the people, their goals and actions. Listen to your employees and let them do the job that they were hired to do. Lastly, to potential candidates, keep looking elsewhere. Your mental health is worth more than the workload, stress, and anxiety you'll deal with here.
