Cons
TLDR: Toxic. Underpaid. Half the office staff has quit in the last 12 months. The current environment is unsustainable for anyone seeking professional growth or work-life balance. Compensation is significantly below market rate, yet the workload is relentless due to a fundamental lack of strategic planning and organization. Turnover is high and vital positions are not filled; creating an unreasonable workload for remaining staff. Leadership—specifically the CEO and COO—fosters a toxic atmosphere where employees are not treated with basic professional respect. People are scolded and put down in front of others. Because there is no HR department, there is no objective recourse for grievances or support. This lack of oversight allows for concerning practices, such as taking advantage of salaried staff and expecting hourly employees to work "off the clock." Furthermore, the culture actively discourages the use of medical leave or disability accommodations, creating a high-pressure environment that ignores employee well-being.
