Great company challenged with toxic employee - Anonymous employee Sportsman's Connection Employee Review

A paid 30 minute lunch is literally the only pro I can think of.

This company runs its employees into the ground. They are extremely scammy in the way that they run their business, and promise customers they are working on their order when in reality it has never even been looked at. The only orders that have been getting worked on for the past 6 months are orders that have disputes or complaints with the BBB. The pay is extremely subpar with no benefits, and far below standard for the field. Management is manipulative. After my old boss that I enjoyed working with was fired for defending our team, they hired no one to fill in his role and avoided discussing the subject for a month. Eventually they just shifted his responsibilities onto the rest of the team with no promotion. I did the job of about 3 people for 16.50 an hour and no benefits. When I asked about a promotion or a raise I was given a 50 cent raise and told that I couldn't be asking for more money because the company was doing bad financially and the owners weren't taking a paycheck. The management is extremely dismissive and has no idea what is going on. They started outsourcing work to India even though they claim to be a small family owned business all made in the USA because they didn't want to pay higher wages.

Great coworkers in the design, accounting, sales, customer service, and marketing departments.

Disorganized and not honest. Made false promises about the company and benefits. Poor company structure, a lot of the workers were not paid often and actually never got their last pay checks. The owner of the company was not honest or direct with company shutting down or going down hill. Pocketed money and told everyone else they were basically screwed. Also lots of customers were angry and never got their product or refund. Had multiple chances to make this company thrive, and they chose the wrong decision, everytime.
