Better Leader's Needed

Pros

The company wants to do great things, there are some great people that work there and these are the only things that are still holding the company together.

Cons

The company needs to get a handle on everything that they do. There are bullies starting from the very top to the very bottom. HR doesn't have a clue, and refuses to accept that fact. They are to busy trying to run three different business' under one roof to focus on this one. The benefits plan is bare basic, the pay is lower than standard, no bonuses or raises given out. They don't acknowledge work well done and only reprimand when they feel an employee has done something that is not up to the Leaderships standard. There is a culture of fear and distrust, every day employees go into work unsure if they are going to have a job at the end of the day, because Leadership may have a fit about something and fire everyone on the spot because he is upset. They feed you lunch because they don't ever want you to leave, its frowned upon to go for lunch or coffee or even leave your desk. If you aren't bum in seat for 9+ hours a day, you aren't working hard enough. There is no such thing as personal space or time when you work there.

Stay far away from this awful company

Pros

A handful of great people who I met during my time working there.

Cons

Abusive CEO who doesn’t know what he’s doing, and is obsessed with success although pretends it’s all about the company’s mission of “respect your universe “ - nothing could be further from the company culture. Incompetent management who’s afraid to stand up for their teams. Completely chaotic (dis) organization with daily rants by CEO. Culture of fear. “HR” recognizes the total dysfunction of the place but does nothing. Unbelievably stressful. Everyone working there knows it’s awful.

Pros

Lots of great people who care about the brand and the company, Marketing team, Retail team. Brand connector.

Cons

Threatening environment for people to work in. CEO is only there to roll the stock and make himself money. He is a liability to the company. Abusive to staff.

Thank you for your candid feedback and we respect all opinions. We have a charismatic CEO who believes passionately in our business and this enthusiasm can sometimes be misconstrued. We have a culture of respect which is disseminated from top down and without a passionate team our success would not be possible.
