-Bad overall company culture and leadership. It's ran like a ma-n-pa shop while slowly turning into a legitimate big time company and it doesn't know how to properly handle that transition.
-Old guard runs the show and has connections so deeply laid that they'll never be excommunicated.
-A rampant "workplace first" mentality over "employee first".
-They only love you if you sell your soul and work egregious hours, they expect insane hours from their salaried positions and constantly lose good employees because of it.
- Treat the company as if its some magical place that you should be honored to work at, and shamed for standing up to their ridiculous practices.
-The fact that its family owned is good and bad. There are employees who are only there because they have an "in" with the owner/owners family. If you have a wrong opinion, you will be an outcast or literally cast out.
-Employee turnover is unlike anything you've ever seen. No one wants to stay once they get in.
----Insanely unprofessional environment once you see under the hood, and it won't take long.
-The employees that HAVE stayed there long term are either (as stated above) so deeply entrenched in the culture they've become part of the problem...OR they are there because they have no other choice at that point in their career.
-Upper management will freely discuss drama issues like it's a high school cafeteria.
-Upper management openly discusses fired/moved on employees with disdain and disgust.
-----Dont work here----
