Pros
Upper management occasionally vanishes for extended periods of time. Undefined middle management sacrifices their personal lives to support each other and the workers under them. Turnover rate is high, so if you don't like someone, just be patient.
Cons
Business is run as a dictatorship as no opinions, viewpoints, or experiences other than one of the owner's has any weight. Unrealistic timelines are set with no clear direction or assistance in how they can be achieved. PTO does not exist - workers are expected to be available at all hours. Employees are forced, arbitrarily, to sign a non-compete that prevents them from continuing to work in the same industry. Owner is also sue-happy, so it's not worth trying to argue. Untrained, unqualified individuals are hired at an inflated payrate, given 0 onboarding or training, and made to be the problem of middle management and/or lead field workers who are paid significantly less. Self-appointed office manager will sabotage workers by telling upper management embellished information to make them look shady - actual details will be disregarded. Protocols will drastically change at the drop of a hat and only a select few will be informed. Inquiries of how to enact new protocol is met with hostility and a "this is how we have always done it" attitude that failed at least 2 prior businesses. Any efforts for improvement, bettering of the company, or thoroughly doing a task will be ridiculed and undermined by the owner. Doing things ethically and legally are not a priority, only getting money in the door.
