Worst Place to work ever (no exaggeration)

Pros

Co-workers not related to the owners are very nice people although are constantly upset, nervous and worried because of psychotic environment perpetrated by family in charge

Cons

Management, especially the "President" (the woman owner, complete figurehead title, knows nothing about business, architecture, or how to be a decent and moral person) is unprofessional, mean spirited, angry and air their dirty personal family laundry in public all day, everyday. The company could be way more successful if they took any care of their employees and had a happy staff who was looking to improve the organization and themselves. instead they foster an environment where everyone on staff is either afraid to lose their jobs if they have a family to provide for or are hoping to be fired if they don't. No one who works there have any passion for the job nor should they as they work under terrible conditions and for insane managers who only want to stroke their own egos instead of trying to in any way to improve the company and make their staff better employees. They think the only way to manage is to yell at employees and that absolutely does not work. I feel sorry for anyone who is conned into working at this horrible company and for the sick people in charge (the woman in charge is demented and has serious psychological issues).

Pros

Quitting. Quitting was legit the BEST day of my life after a short time at this place and is the only pro I can think of

Cons

Where do I begin? It's been several years and I still have anxiety over this company. There were red flags I should have seen from the beginning but I was blind to them. - I was promised that my predecessor would remain on staff to help train me. On Day 1 I was told she had left completely. - I was told my input would be heard and valued. First hour of my first day it was clear I had no value whatsoever and if you try and think outside the box, you're quickly put in your place - I was reprimanded on my first day for getting lunch (to eat at my desk) at a time that didn't fit management's schedule (even though a lunch period was never established) - Left work EVERY. DAY crying. Dreaded coming to work. Lost weight. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Quitting was the only thing that saved me. When I quit, HR asked me what my reasons were and I told them it was solely b/c of the management and he said he wasn't surprised. Don't believe any positive reviews on here. They're clearly fabricated.

Pros

Friendly and collaborative coworkers, great location in Chelsea, summer Fridays and nice products.

Cons

Where do I begin... This was by far, the most unprofessional, degrading, toxic and ridiculous company I have ever had the displeasure of working for. Management pushes ineffective and unreleastic goals and ideas on employees, often insulting and yelling to deliver their "profound" thoughts. Turnover for this company is incredibly high. Additionally, management will use you as a scapegoat for their mistakes and berate you in front of coworkers and clients. DO NOT waste your time applying, interviewing or working at this company... unless you enjoy abuse. If there was a 1/2 star, I would have selected it. And only because my coworkers were amazing.
