*Pay is very low and raises are almost unheard-of *The owners have no experience in the industry and it shows *Decisions are based on the whims of the owners rather than on logic or reason, with predictably negative results *Owners blame employees for low sales rather than take responsibility for their own bad decisions *The opinions of actual experts in the departments are disregarded in favor of those who tell the owners what they want to hear *Employees are treated like servants at best, slaves at worst *HR acts as if their only function is to serve as enforcers on behalf of upper management *Upper management tends to keep employees in the dark regarding the state of the company - info is spread via gossip
