A tumble down the rabbit hole of nepotism and white male hubris
Pros
Working at OFS is like stepping back in time to the 1950’s. If you are a white middle-aged republican male, here are some of the many perks you will enjoy working for this company: -A non-existent harassment enforcement policy -No sales ethics training (worth mentioning…) -The ability, especially if you are a part of the ownership family, to issue edicts on a whim and expect that the entire workforce drop everything and comply even if it is a complete waste of time. Bonus points if you decide that the new “initiative” is to be enforced only selectively. Extra bonus points if you constantly talk about how much it cost the company and provide that as the only justification of the initiative. *Be sure and start all over again with a new initiative a few months later…and so on… -The permission to hire female colleagues not based on performance, but on looks and the potential for overt workplace flirtation, whether you are married or not -The encouragement of your manager to “fudge” expense reports -The freedom to ignore your employees’ concerns about quality, timeliness, and customer support because your brother is working on it, and “there are worse companies to work for” -The obligation to dismiss female employees’ concerns as being “too negative”, “too reactionary”, and “too strong”. Basically, you want to hire women that are always compliant and agree with all of your opinions. *But, be sure they are not promoted -You’ll be able to sleep at night because you used the video of your grandma talking about how much integrity the company has and how important your people are, so that will help everything wash out in the end
Cons
See above: if you are an intelligent and hard-working person of integrity working here WILL affect your sleep at night. PS the benefits are terrible.
