I accepted a lower than market salary to work at LRC because working for a small, family business was appealing. However, what I realized after spending some time there is that there is little room room for advancement because the company is so small. The "carrot" of a promotion was consistently dangled over mine and my colleagues' heads to prevent us from leaving, but was rarely substantiated.
The work could be mundane and the office space is old and dingy, but what really makes LRC a workplace to avoid is the toxic culture and systemic nepotism.
The CEO frequently made "off-color" comments and slurs regarding employees' clothing (i.e. calling them Juanita for wearing a poncho), sexual preferences, assuming language skills based on race, etc. There is no one to report issues to since his wife manages HR.
If you are not in the family, your opinion is secondary. The office space is physically split so that the family is in a separate part of the office and the CEO's grandkids scream and run around the space which made it challenging to conduct client calls.
Unless you want to feel like you work in a daycare, keep looking!
