Pros

The other staff try to help you survive the toxic CEO (unless they've been pitted against you).

Cons

Literally everything else. The CEO is an absolute nightmare. The (only) good review on here was written by an employee by her direction lol. She will tell you one thing and then abuse you for not reading her mind and doing the other thing... Uses star signs for decisions... Even with years of professional experience, your emails and BASIC communication with her needs to be triple checked by the young employee who's somehow avoided the CEO's psychotic outbursts. Because even she knows that the lack of a smiley face or something ridiculous will set her off on you. CEO lacks basic communication and empathy and will torture you mentally if you don't read her mind. She expects you to be the most experienced employee but will pay pittance & be abusive if you even remotely suggest something she doesn't agree with. She's greedy and obsessive, controlling and belittles you. She will publicly berate you for not washing her dishes for her and have a vendetta against you for absolutely no reason from day dot. I had extensive previous (hard) professional experience and never in my life have I been made to feel so anxious and doubtful of every step. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

Coming from salons and spas into Business development was daunting. The 1st few days felt overwhelming, but the CEO took the time out of her incredibly busy schedule to teach and support me. She figured out very quickly that I learn by touch and feel and she assisted me to learn the ropes, always with kindness and a caring attitude. Which she does with everyone else as well. No question was ever silly and listening to her story and the empire she has built is nothing short of inspiring. I feel very lucky to walk through our office doors every day and feel valued as an employee. With admin being a huge part of the role, everyone is always helpful if I have a question, and to top it all off, we actually have lots of fun in the office. I can see myself having a long career at LYCON. 😊

Cons

I have not come across any cons.

Pros

Other staff were nice to me

Cons

The CEO is the craziest person I've ever worked for. She had a list of about 75 rules that you could and couldn't do- including how to use the toilet and being friends with your coworkers. She would bully you, would show no trust in the work that I was doing and she is the biggest micromanager EVER. There was no flexibility with WFH and we worked off a desktop computer - super outdate (like being in the dark ages).
