Pros

*Great learning experience *Some wonderful coworkers, many of whom are still there *Dental office was very convenient and inexpensive *25 cent lunches *Free breakfast

Cons

*Pay is very low and raises are almost unheard-of *The owners have no experience in the industry and it shows *Decisions are based on the whims of the owners rather than on logic or reason, with predictably negative results *Owners blame employees for low sales rather than take responsibility for their own bad decisions *The opinions of actual experts in the departments are disregarded in favor of those who tell the owners what they want to hear *Employees are treated like servants at best, slaves at worst *HR acts as if their only function is to serve as enforcers on behalf of upper management *Upper management tends to keep employees in the dark regarding the state of the company - info is spread via gossip

Pros

Relaxed environment when the boss’s boyfriend wasn’t there , nice music, play with makeup.

Cons

Awful pay, no pay increase, no bonuses for any hard work. Left due to sexual harassment from the boss’s boyfriend who would come in and drink in the back and watch p*rn. Awful experience.
