Flexible start times.
Cons
-Interview process is unclear. Interviewers are asked to come in and learn for an hour without pay. -Feedback was not provided regarding any adjustments to work prior to discharge -The CEO’s insistence on being involved in every email and call suggests a lack of trust that, when paired with a desire for zero push back, makes it difficult for employees to feel valued in the business -Following one week of structured training you are left alone to figure out processes and contacts -Poor Vacation time. The absence of a tiered vacation system for tenured staff suggests lack of investment in long term work - life balance. 5 vacation days a year. -There is a notable difference between leadership’s expectations and the consistent, hands-on engagement required to implement those standards effectively -Considering funds and staff count, Insurance is provided via paycheck stipend? Just pay for the insurance?! -CEO is selectively courteous -Leadership and staff speaks in profanities (unprofessional around workers) -Every email sent out externally is CC'd to everyone. (no context provided) Full inbox -CEO makes unnecessary, and unprofessional comments creating a significant disconnect between the company's vision and the daily reality. -CEO can make sexist comments towards men's abilities -CEO has a tendency to blame past operational challenges to the perceived personal limitations of former staff members, rather than addressing organizational issues -Left alone as a new hire ALOT. -While management promotes 'continued learning' the training experience was hindered by frequent early release from office due to a lack of onsite staff. -Lots of physical paperwork, Paper notes for everything -No laptop until you are able to work from home. -CEO will talk at you and expect you to retain or write everything down via paper notebook. -inefficient use of tools -CEO requires employees to operate with high standards of respect, yet the CEO frequently models unprofessional behavior. -The reliance on manual paper, lack of structured mentorship, and outdated training reference sheets directly contributes to the lack of clarity regarding company wide processes
