Unprofessional and unhealthy work environment

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Some staff value collaboration and professionalism.

Cons

Management and owner were involved in gossip and conspiracy (grilling supervisors asking why employees called out sick, asking about personal lives and offering speculations about personal matters, discussing these matters with other employees to encourage collusion, etc) and encouraged employees to participate in such unprofessionalism in order to keep in good standing. Management had regular emotional breakdowns on the production floor and then locked themselves in their office for hours only to emerge angry and dismissive when faced with issues or decisions. Owner agreed with managements behavior when issues were brought up. No benefits and no indication that employees were valued. Employees were reminded constantly that they were replaceable. Multiple lawsuits regarding harassment and unsafe work environment. Two weeks notices were not honored as staff were often let go the day after notice was given. In some cases, supervisors were asked to "get as much info/training as possible so we can dismiss the employee as soon as possible".

Pros

There is nothing positive to say about this place.

Cons

Please be aware of working here. There is a EXTREMELY high turnover rate because of how this company runs and especially because of the CEO. Many people leave because of her. It is truly a toxic work environment especially in the Lab area. When working here just know you will be bullied, your work/credit will be stolen, and very immature people will be pushing/bossing you around. There is such a lack of communication its unbelievable. There is no advancement here, you just stay where your at. There is zero culture. Truly this is a toxic work environment and the worst job I ever had. I am shocked at how many people have NOT left their bad reviews within their short times here because it is truly that bad. Believe the other reviews its just tip of the iceberg. Please beware of this place.
