Unhealthy work environment and culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Good health coverage and a solid merchandise discount. Your team will become a family (mostly from trauma bounding).

Cons

Unrealistic expectations that are not clearly communicated. Mind games and corrupt management. Very high turn-around, you will be expected to perform roles that are not in your job description. Non-existent culture or work-life balance. I wish I had taken these reviews seriously, please do your research before working for this company.

Unsafe Work Environment

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

There are really nice people committed to their work here

Cons

I was warned about the culture before taking my role here, which I thought "couldn't be that bad". To say that it's horribly toxic and the inappropriate behavior is problematic is a gross understatement. The CEO has created a work environment which is unsafe for women and employees at large and has removed HR professionals so that he can make certain his behavior is never reported and actual employee testimony is buried. He has single-handedly made this organization a revolving door of employment (which can be seen on job boards nationally as they are consistently attempting to fill the same roles). This should be a red flag to any talented, passionate candidate looking for a space to grow and evolve your skillset. If you are not someone that can handle such an environment, you should not work here. Your morals, values, and sanity will be tested. Daily.
