Pros
Management never bounced a check while I worked there. We had a working refrigerator for part of the time that I worked there. (Funny aside about the refrigerator - when it broke, the boss suggested to the most senior employee there that he go to Home Depot, buy the same model, and then return the broken one in the new one's packaging. Lol. So the guy who won't stop bragging about how rich he is won't pay for a new $300 refrigerator for his employees, and he suggests that they commit fraud to get a new one. You can't make this stuff up.) Learning about new businesses and industries can be pretty fun. I liked that part of the job most of the time. The other guys (non-management) were fun to work with. All but one of them have since left the company, so I don't know what it's like there now.
Cons
Incomprehensible turnover. In this one-employee company, there have been six or so salespeople and six or so analysts come and go in the past few years. Management claims it's because his hires have had no integrity, but the truth is, they just couldn't stand working for management. Extraordinary micromanaging. For example, management will make you re-write things endlessly, only to eventually say that the way you had it the first time is best. Then he'll say that writing is an iterative process. The truth is, management is too detached from your project to really understand what you're writing about, and is obsessed with sounding more clever than necessary. There are a lot of other examples I could give, but you get the picture. Zero true room for advancement. Management will tell you all about the amazing career path you're on, working tirelessly to make him rich. It's all a lie. No one advances beyond associate here. Ask around. Do your research before accepting a position. Insufferable management. Long hours, underwhelming pay, micromanagement, etc. - this stuff is all completely tolerable if you really like the person or people you're working for. Unfortunately, this is not ever going to be the case at this company. Management treats employees like dogs, except when they're trying to manipulate the employees into liking management, which is always transparent and always nauseating. Last but not least, consider this. The company has one full-time, non-owner employee. One. ONE. Yet there are 18 positive reviews posted for this company. This is because management went berserk after a couple of former employees wrote honest, negative reviews after leaving the disastrous company (two of which remain posted as of this writing). Management responded by calling them "FAKE REVIEWS" and then slandering the writers. They're not fake reviews. I worked with the people who wrote them. As for the 18 positive reviews? Doesn't seem to pass the smell test, given that there's only one full-time employee at the company. If that's not enough to scare you away, then you deserve to work for this company for a while.

9yThe only one who has a reputation problem is the disgruntled ex-employee who keeps posting silly, slanderous reviews. This reinforces that he's poisonous to ANY culture and that he's not a good person. Probably why he still can't find work after 18-months.
My compliments for telling so many good "fake stories" - it actually sounds like a different person is making the review. Somehow you've beat Glassdoor's systems that prevents multiple reviews by the same person under different aliases.
We are sorry that you are still so extremely angry and upset with your termination after only 5-months on the job. Your heart is clearly full of hatred and that's really too bad because life is too short, especially when your termination was nearly 2-years ago.
F2 has a great team, we have 100% client retention, and business is up 40% this year. The current team is extremely happy and we're having a great time.
