Pros

Free coffee and snacks. Very nice colleagues.

Cons

Extremely micro-managed with minutes-to-minutes strict clock in / out system The company is unconcerned if you are sick in the height of a pandemic, and obligated to come into the office unless you are one of the three people that get special privileges. They believe that employees are not working if they are permitted to work from home. They believe that they are cooperating for the employees and that we should appreciate for their benefits when we get 5 holidays and 5 PTO. They offer a 401k which does not match anything and the health insurance that is not accepted anywhere. They refuse to give employees any titles because they do not want us to be able to negotiate salaries. The CEO is well versed in gaslighting employees and makes sure to use this power. He does not trust his employees, therefore as a result he berates them until they quit. He expects specific employees to perform as supervisors or managers without them given the actual titles, therefore no structure exists in this company. Since there is no structure, new employees will work on the same assignments as seniors, and it is the seniors’ responsibility to keep these same-titled new employees under control. He is a man-child who runs the company on emotions. He hires minorities so he can underpay them and takes advantage of people who don't speak up for themselves. He does not have the necessary knowledge or common sense to run the business or understand his employees since he never worked for any other company besides his family-owned business. The turnover rate is extremely high. Do not be surprised when you hear that every employee is looking for a better opportunity.

Pros

None whatsoever with this company

Cons

Very micro managing which was quantity over quality. CEO wanted us in the office during the COVID crisis while he contracted it himself. Never wore a mask while at the office.

Pros

Good co-workers to commiserate with. Free snacks and a coffee machine.

Cons

The first thing you'll notice working at Jonathan Y is the high turnover. 90% of the employees stay less than a year. They leave for positions that treat them fairly and pay what they deserve. The CEO cares about his company, but that care doesn’t extend to any of the people that actually make the business run properly. He has wild ideas for new ventures and it’s easy to see that they are going to fail. But, you still need to do what he tells you, or suffer excessive micromanaging and verbally abusive behavior. Salary is far below market rate and doesn’t keep up with inflation. The company is strict with clocking in and out, and employees are never trusted to do the right thing on their own. The PTO policy is pathetic, only 5 days off a year. Health insurance is better than nothing, but inferior to any competitors. If you don’t like any of these things, the CEO’s attitude is that you are a disposable person. You can leave and he will rush to get a replacement. This results in a constant cycle, where people leave at their first opportunity. No matter your skill set, you’ll be better appreciated somewhere else. This review may be followed by a fake 5-star review without many additional details. Please decide for yourself.
