Absolutely not worth the stress

Pros

- coworkers - location - coffee machine

Cons

- Absolutely zero incentives to work as hard as they make you (40-90 unread emails a day? Plus 30+ phone calls.) Promised bonuses for years and got $0 despite making hundreds of thousands in sales. I had to work overtime for months just to keep on top of my workload and they never paid me overtime, despite the CEO being named richest under 40. - CEO that grunts at/blatantly ignores his staff - unless they got a huge sale that week. Also known for calling staff after hours and abusing them until they cry. - Management aren’t leaders, they’re just close to the company owners. Would have to beg for help before they would step in. Female management known to gossip and belittle other female staff. If you had a private chat to your team leader it wouldn’t just stay with management. - Lack of improvement. Many things would go wrong in the production line/back end and customer service would bring up concerns/ideas time and time again, yet nothing would ever be fixed. It felt like unless it affected upper management directly it wasn’t a concern. - Unwelcome environment. Often discourse in the office, and sometimes, if we were lucky, we would start off the week with a meeting where the CEO tells us how terrible we are at our jobs.

Pros

The people you meet and friendships that you create in this company are lifelong. Fun work culture with regular friday night drinks after work.

Cons

false promises of promotions and pay rises are a regular occurrence. If you do get a promotion, pay rises are not guaranteed with it (even though owner just got named top 100 richest men in Australia in their 40's). Work room and courier company are always messing up orders so there is a lot of dealing with angry customers on a daily basis. Owner of the company acts like he's the Steve jobs of the window furnishings industry and will give you the "We are disrupting a traditionally analog industry" speech anytime he has to hype the team up to make more sales or make every employee believe in the business again. He also has clear favourites and if you're not one of his favourites he will ignore you and give you back handed comments.

Poor Managers, No Leaders.

Pros

Reasonable pay & some wonderful colleagues, autonomy.

Cons

No real leadership, period. Management lie a lot about everything relating to the business. They have these all hands meetings that and loading with lies and misdirection. Management number 1 concern is to impress the wealthy and wine & dine influencers and other business leaders. The company has 'sales' staff but no commission structure and budgets that change for no rhyme or reason with zero sales training and no sales professionals in leadership, the only people with an understanding of selling were a small number of colleagues. Marketing team has their head in the sand and seem of have no grasp on what the consumer wants and are only concerned with appearing high end with a mid range product. This company does not stick by their own "family values".
