Pros

Co-workers are good people to be around.

Cons

Owner/Former owner doesn't understand business. Held on to old gear and used up valuable shelf-space instead of cycling out old equipment. He focused on old logos on gear and made all departments spend too much time switching them over, yet his personal road case had the old logo on it. The new COO wants to take the company in a direction that doesn't allow any time to fix broken gear or even maintain it properly, and sent clients more gear than what is needed, all this just to increase margins by a little bit. Pay is horrible given the talent in the place. Everyone I met there is so eager to learn, talented, and hard working and it's a shame to see them all making the minimum paid for those jobs. Morale is never high there. They love to take advantage of their biggest assets: Their workers. In order to get a raise or a promotion, you have to quit, have them realize they are worse off without you, and then come back.

Just an overall bad company

Pros

Some gems they have of people working for them at the Convention Center location

Cons

The higher management at the main site is just slimy and cut throat. Very weird, fake energy coming from most people at the "main location", cookie cutters for any penny they can have. Some of the hardest workers don't make over 6 figures but the "execs" do. Turnover ratio is HIGH for them. And to make it worse, they furloughed the entire staff during lockdown and offered some people to come work for them for free. Absolutely insane.

Pros

Most employees are really friendly here.

Cons

Low pay, hard to get raises unless you're friends with the right people. Hard to advance unless you are friends with the right people. It seems people are rewarded for not doing their jobs well. CEO micro manages his entire team. HR department is lacking ethics, HR knowledge and good employee relationships. Way too many meetings. No work life balance if you travel for this company. Nobody is held to the same standard or rules. Feels like high school when upper management is whispering about employees they don't like. A lot of secrets are kept from employees, always whispering going on and lots of closed door meetings, kind of gives a feeling of instability. If you are not liked they will phase out your job. Most equipment is out dated and in bad shape.
