Pros
If you're a "yes man" "yes woman" then you'll go far! Really far, and get extra perks/privileges/insights/gossip/money.
Cons
When 14+ people have quit in the last 6 months, then you know there is a deeper issue. And NO, it is not because of the Pandemic. The best thing that happened in my opinion is the pandemic. The time that we have spent working from home bc of it has given us employees the opportunity to get out of the toxic/abusive work environment and sit at home and really open our eyes to how bad the work culture really is. When we are in the office there are many distractions (drink outings, loud fun music, great co-workers who know how you feel and help pick you back up, snacks, chef etc) to keep your mind off how the CEO made you feel when he: -Talks down to you in front of your peers, slams doors, ignores you to prove a point, tells you that "this is MY *very bad word* company" when talking about why he's allowed to treat you the way he does, talks about how much money you've made (or not made) in front of your peers, telling you countless times that you only have the house that you have and the car that you have and the things that you have because of him (Which is false. We work our butts off and are 100% commission) The list goes on and on. Working from home helped employees open their eyes to how bad the culture is. The same behavior from the CEO happened on Zoom calls/emails while we were at home. After he makes people feel like a piece of crap on those calls, we were left to sit in our own thoughts and really dissect how he just made us feel without the clever distractions the office has to make you move on quickly and forget about the bullying, intimidation, and truly walking on egg shells environment you're in. When the person responding to these Glassdoor reviews says that "the CEO is the reason we have a wide variety of perks", that is false. WE the EMPLOYEES are how that is possible. WE are 100% commission and the CEO takes the lions share of our commission….with that share he is able to provide perks. Thanks for using the money we earned to give us cocktails and trips…I'd rather make less money and have a healthy/supportive/happy/zero fear work environment…which is why we’ve all left.
