Pros

There are definitely no pros working at this company

Cons

Most self centered owner. Only in it for himself. Treats his employees terribly while he sits in his office all day. Two separate types of people work there. Ones he likes and ones he definitely does not and makes that quite clear on a daily basis. Mandatory overtime during peak times is ridiculous and never was I told about that before starting there. Unrealistic demands all the time. I would never recommend this company to anyone. Hope this deters others from making the same mistake I did.

Pros

Small and intimate company with a nice showroom

Cons

Low pay, Very strict and old-fashioned boss. No phones allowed. You can't express your opinion and if you do, you will be either ignored or fired. Since it's a small company you have to be 10 different people and perform 10 different assignments under one job description.

Pros

A small company with a few nice people

Cons

4 people were fired in less than two months and most of the other employees were new (the company has less than 20 people so it is a crazy turnover). The owner never worked anywhere else in his life so he is very closed-minded and very strict about things getting done in a certain way without even trying to do them differently or to be open to new ideas. Make sure you get in writing all you are promised in the interview! I was promised one thing and after a while, I was asked to do a completely different role which had nothing to do with my profession. When I asked why he didn't mention this in the job interview, his response was "well I never said that it wasn't a part of your job"! ( a compelling argument, I know!) The owner is not approachable and very moody, the moment you speak your mind, you get fired. He also has no mercy or shame. He let me go a week before Christmass knowing that I have a baby and just got a house with a mortgage to pay (I left a very secure job for this company for a lot of false promises) he made sure to do it right before my probation period was over, just like he did with a lot of others. In the 2.5 months, I worked there I got lots of compliments for my work, from clients and him included. but the moment I disagreed with him on something (not in an argument or in an angry way) he just fired me as if he was looking for a reason. He probably needed seasonal workers and didn't care that it comes at someone's expanse. The worst part was that he made sure to put "Dismissal for a just cause" in my ROE so that I will be denied unemployment. What kind of person does that and why?
