Cons
Annette can be passive aggressive when stressed or annoyed. She'll 9 out of 10 apologize if it's obvious she was unprofessional. There were unpaid interns at the firm when it was no longer legal. She was not aware. She does not have the patience to educate herself on labor codes or HR topics but also doesn't have an HR person (and no, your accountant doesn't count). Gets off on cheap labor with high-quality product/work ethic, vendors and employees alike. For someone who isn't NCIDQ certified and didn't finish college, it's ironic that she prefers graduated interns with experience. Overall lots of ego. Responds emotionally. Gaslights you when you speak up. If that doesn’t get her point across, she likes to share what her husband thinks as if that’s supposed to change your mind. Certainly a place you can learn from if you're starting off but not a place to stay unless you can handle boundaries being crossed because, you know...we're family. Speaking up about issues or asking for what's legally required is frowned upon unless it's coming from someone she values and doesn't want to look bad in front of them. Statistically has underpaid women of color. Quiet firing - or tactics used to push you to leave without them having to fire you. Discrimination in Violation of FEHA, and Failure to Indemnify was the basis of the lawsuit that was put together by my attorney. I decided not to go through with the process. At the time, I didn't have the mental bandwidth or the energy to go through a lawsuit with someone like Annette English.
