Do you enjoy abuse?

Pros

Your 3 other coworkers are usually great and very close....because you need companions to make it through one minute there.

Cons

Where do I start? None of the positive reviews are true. If you choose to believe them, good luck. I plan to see your review in 3-6 months, because that is the average turnaround rate. Lots of belittlement and mental/verbal abuse by the owner. They are barely ever around but makes sure to call at least once a day to yell at somebody for decisions she previously approved. She is a gas-lighter who believes nothing is her fault. You will have no direction and when you do, that direction will be wrong (your fault not hers) and changed to something else at least 4 times. Everyone is on edge constantly. I was called after work hours and screamed at for 1 hour, with no break, telling me how pathetic and stupid I was....for a color change, a change she had "loved" right before I left for the day. For your sake, do not even TRY to give this place a chance. If I could give a -1000 I would.

Over the past 4 months we have undergone an extensive review of all of our employees, and their qualifications for positions for which they were hired. We found four employees who falsified their Linkedin profiles and resumés with elevated job titles, skillsets, and references. I should add that they were all friends who brought each other on board to this company.They were subsequently fired over the course of the few months as we replaced them with qualified candidates. These negative reviews are clearly from the employees that have been fired with cause over the course of this year.

Pros

decent pay, benefits, treat you well at first, the few co-workers I had, but most of them left.

Cons

no guidance, or training. Did tasks that were not in my job description, and I had no idea sometimes how to do them. I would teach myself most things, which took longer and was very stressful. Everyone was always lost, horrible communication. The office manager tried the hardest she could, but the chaos couldn't be handled by anyone. I was fresh out of college and was excited to learn, but instead it kept me from other opportunities. The owner was almost a bully at times, would put you under the bus in a second. This was truly a nightmare..

Worst Decision You Could Ever Make

Pros

Fully paid health insurance, paid vacation, free lunch on the company, opportunity to travel to markets, paid week off for Christmas, helpful coworkers

Cons

I cannot stress this enough: Do Not Work Here. For over two years, I was harassed, disrespected, undermined and publicly humiliated by the owner of the company. She did this to every employee that I worked with at the time, so I was no different. The employees struggle daily with keeping the office environment positive and professional, only to be berated at random for things they were asked to do only hours before. The owner of the company has openly talked about things that leave many employees feeling uncomfortable and worried about their futures. She will often bully other women in the work place and look for others to agree with her. The authenticity of the company's identity and designs are egregious. The owner's care-free approach to stretching laws to fit the company's shortcomings and termination of employees has everyone on edge. Her activeness within the company is flighty and unpredictable, so employees feel as though they never know when to work on a project, how she'll respond to it, and if she'll change her mind about even doing it. Interviewing is awkward and all positions there are stretched to incorporate every duty in every facet of the company. You must be able to predict what she wants and ready to be attacked for anything you believe differently. While I worked there, more people had quit to find other work in order to leave the toxic work environment than there were positions at the company. Also, it is nearly impossible to work with outside vendors or professionals with any scheduled photoshoots, meetings or projects, as the owner will immediately change what she wants, causing a lot of broken bridges with like-minded professionals. I would love to give Pomegranate a 0 in stars, but that is not an option.
