Pros
- Interesting Industry - Decent Salary/Benefits - Talented coworkers
Cons
- The COO and CEO are a Mother/Son team, which they do not disclose during the interview process (including the COO using her maiden name instead of her legal married name in all external communications.) They can be found to both argue openly in the office and are constantly passive aggressive towards each other, making things awkward for all of the other employees. The CEO and COO regularly try to go over each other's heads, making it difficult to know whose direction to follow on a project. - The PTO pool includes both vacation and sick days which leads you being afraid to take vacation days in case you get sick in the future and need the time off (including medical emergencies!) - Upper management seems more concerned about artificially making the business seem bigger than it is in (including unnecessary office renovations/expansions) order to inflate their ego, rather than focusing on what the employees/company really need. - Employee retention is very low, with most employees leaving after less than a year which makes it challenging to collaborate across departments. - Upper management has the mentality of a large corporation instead of a startup in regards to workflow, which means they are behind in a lot of aspects compared to their more agile competitors.
