Pros
Once a year, they buy you expensive cocktails to make it seem like they know your name.
Cons
Here is a list of actual things that have happened here: - CEO hired an accountant who, as was found out upon performing a simple google search, is a known convicted identity theft felon. This person embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars and stole our personal information, bank account numbers, and SSNs, and now all of us have to have identity theft protection for the foreseeable future. Employees were not given any direction as to how to proceed or any apology. - CEO told a technician to shave his beard so he "didn't look so Jewish." - CEO re-hired two technicians who had actively worked to harm the company's reputation and actively lied in their previous employment. CEO now blames office staff for these technicians' faults. - When called for a recommendation for a former employee (who had been loyal, pleasant, and effective at their job), CEO said "I wouldn't rehire her" - just for fun. - There is no designated HR person in the office. - There is no official training process, and the employee handbook contains multiple misleading/contradictory statements. - Only women can answer the phones. - Male management and staff second-guess female employees consistently, only trusting a statement when reiterated by a man. - CEO asked if candidates to be hired for a position were "Male? Female? Chinese?" - Employees' medical issues are openly discussed. - CEO invites insurance salesman into office to solicit employees into purchasing his plans. Insurance salesman once handed an employee piece of paper that listed each employee's medical history, including cancer and STDs. CEO is incredibly mean and yells constantly. Shows no concern for employees. Cares only whether or not people are working. Still calls accountant who has worked closely with him for four months "accountant girl." It's OK money, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's worth it. No matter how well you do, this will be a gap in your resume because you can't rely on the management to stick up for you in the slightest.
