University Loft Company Reviews

The biggest "con" here is the CEO. He throws temper tantrums and is NOT a problem solver. In fact, he tends to create more problems for everyone as his own personal recordkeeping methods are sloppy and unprofessional. In addition, when he gets involved with an end customer the results are inevitably disastrous. I saw a copy of an e-mail he sent to one of our biggest clients; it was vulgar, unprofessional, incoherent and had it been written by an administrative assistant, he or she would have been pink-slipped on the spot for good reason. More importantly, the CEO can't handle the truth, to paraphrase Jack Nicholson. Instead of being able to listen to the realities of certain situations that have occurred and re-occurred and then allow those in positions of authority to make needed changes, he instead demands to be fed a steady stream of well-spun pablum. Otherwise, he kills the messengers, either through a tirade of verbal abuse or actual termination. He's currently being sued for unfair termination by a relative - that is pretty telling in itself. So, the problems that have been costing the company profitability and sales are expanding, both labor and management are turning over like autumn leaves, and the few who choose to stay on are disengaged and waiting for the day they can either collect social security or have another opportunity presented. It is a truism that fish rots from the head down, and this fish has passed its expiration date. We're in the process of breaking in a new C-level executive; it will be interesting to see whether he stays or throws up his hands in frustration. Ironically, prior to his hiring, the corporation made a charitable donation to St. Jude's - the patron saint of lost causes.

CEO is a micromanaging megalomaniac that thinks most senior staff is a series of personal assistants as well as wizards (especially legal staff). If you ever have to report to the CEO or CFO (who is just a CEO lap dog) god help you. He will ask impossible things in an incomprehensible way and may even ask you to do mildly illegal things. Also the CEO made a coworker of mine go to his house and climb a tree to install a security camera at his personal home. That's the kind of person he is, treats employees like personal assistants and treats them like crap because he resents that he has to pay them. My favorite indicator of his character though was a hot tub (that he got from a Chinese vendor, so cheap or free) that sat empty and unhooked for years in his (carpeted) work office to, I assume, show off his """"opulence"""".
