Not the Most Ideal Place to Work - Anonymous employee SSI Employee Review

Toxic work environment with lack of true professionalism, prevalent favoritism, discrimination, unprofessional HR practices, office politics & gossips (encouraged by the owners of the company), etc. Employees are treated differently (and it will be made known) depending on the CEO's liking. Work-life balance is none existent, and the upper management expects and pressures employees to put in overtime by working through their PTOs and holiday breaks - "You are expected to work minimum of 40 hours every week!" The CEO exercises micro-management depending on her mood of the day and treats the employees as her personal secretary to pick up lunches and running errands. The company is run like a family style where the CEO and COO are the "parents" to all their employees who are on a tight leash, and the employees are often treated as their "children" - lack of professional respect to their employees. There is a clear tension and power struggle within the upper management members that affects the employees negatively at times. All in all, it's a very uncomfortable work environment, especially for those professional and ethical employees.
