There's a reason why people leave...

Pros

Great coworker relationships minus executives and management. Freedom to go home at the end of the day.

Cons

1) Toxic, unfixable nepotism and favoritism in dept: Many in leadership roles got their job due to being related management. Already sketchy. Cannot even report things to HR because the decision makers on top never believe their family members did any wrong doing. Many examples of "rule for thee but not for me". They will give all the work to their favorite and wonder why you aren't doing enough. 2) Micromanaging and setting you up for failure: They will always be behind your shoulder making sure you're on your toes and never relaxed. Terrible communication. They will blame you for missing details they never communicated to begin with. 3) No structure: It will feel like a new hire is directing you. There is no structure or set plans for most jobs and it felt like they're winging it. Terrible, detrimental decisions will be made without thinking and you might get blamed by association. 4) Low Pay: They have a technique of making sure they pay you less. Super vague job description which they will happily inflate. They cut positions, dump ALL that cut employees' work on you and never hire help nor raise your pay for the extra/different work you were never planned to do. 5) Dead-end Job: You will rarely move up in this job. Only people they are related to will get higher positions. They already know who's going to be the next CEO.

TERRIBLE WORKPLACE. EXTREME NEPOTISM AND OFFICE POLITICS

Pros

They hire quickly because people keep leaving

Cons

Don’t be fooled! Company is run by a family who doesn’t know how to manage people. No standard protocols. Business decisions are made based on their mood and largely dependent if the family members and their chosen few favorites like you or not. HR is not pro-employee. Even worst, HR is used to harass employees whom the family doesn’t like. Terrible work culture. High turnover rate, after 1month or less upon hire people leave immediately. No respect for employees. Emotionally disturbing and stressful work environment. Too much nepotism and office politics

What a mess

Pros

There are some good, genuine people within the company that will truly help and care for you.

Cons

Family-run company with core values revolving around nepotism and favoritism. No foundation, structure, and direction. Employees are expected to take on responsibilities way above their pay grade while aimlessly trying to navigate through non-existent processes by themselves because of a lack of management. You get paid in peanuts with no room for growth. Apparently, all employee grievances can be resolved with pizza and donuts. They implement ridiculous rules for some while others are able to do whatever they want. A hierarchy exists within the company and your value as an employee depends on your usefulness. The company radiates negativity and toxicity. If you’re looking for real experiences, you won’t find any here.
