Pros

Your 3 other coworkers are usually great and very close....because you need companions to make it through one minute there.

Cons

Where do I start? None of the positive reviews are true. If you choose to believe them, good luck. I plan to see your review in 3-6 months, because that is the average turnaround rate. Lots of belittlement and mental/verbal abuse by the owner. They are barely ever around but makes sure to call at least once a day to yell at somebody for decisions she previously approved. She is a gas-lighter who believes nothing is her fault. You will have no direction and when you do, that direction will be wrong (your fault not hers) and changed to something else at least 4 times. Everyone is on edge constantly. I was called after work hours and screamed at for 1 hour, with no break, telling me how pathetic and stupid I was....for a color change, a change she had "loved" right before I left for the day. For your sake, do not even TRY to give this place a chance. If I could give a -1000 I would.

Over the past 4 months we have undergone an extensive review of all of our employees, and their qualifications for positions for which they were hired. We found four employees who falsified their Linkedin profiles and resumés with elevated job titles, skillsets, and references. I should add that they were all friends who brought each other on board to this company.They were subsequently fired over the course of the few months as we replaced them with qualified candidates. These negative reviews are clearly from the employees that have been fired with cause over the course of this year.

Pros

Beautiful product. Nice office with young, inexperienced people. Small staff, probably 6-10 people (very understaffed).

Cons

Although in business for 25+ years, make no mistake about it; Pomegranate, Inc. is nothing more than an extremely wealthy woman's hobby. Based out of Lexington KY, owner Angela Beck is married to a wealthy stallion breeder (Gainesway Farms) and this is her outlet to verbally abuse her employees and make them do her little dance. She puppeteers the team to make them do complicated projects that are completely ineffective, costing money and customer distrust. I've never seen such shocking management/ownership. If the toxic behavior is not visible to new employees yet, it will come out soon enough. This is why the turnover is incredibly high.
