Should be considered as a short term position Only
Pros
Small, multicultural company, potential opportunity for advancement.
Cons
Small, multicultural company, that gives the impression there is a huge opportunity for advancement. They think of themselves as a start-up but they have been in business over 16 years. Micromanagement occurs at all levels of management, but really starts at the top (CEO); If you are not well liked by the CEO, opportunity for advancement isn't possible. CEO walks around checking to see if employees are at their desk in the morning and checks at what time they leave in the afternoon. Employees are expected to work over-time and weekends which is fine, however if the employee needs time off to go to the doctors they must use their vacation time and comp time is not at the discretion of the manager, the CEO does not believe in it so therefore it does not exist. The owners, get involved in decision-making in all departments, they do not let the people they hired with the expertise to make the right decisions do their jobs, they feel the are better equipped to do everyone's jobs. There are a lot of family members in upper management, who report back to the owners and make it impossible for other qualified employees to further their careers. They is very high turnover, an entire dept. quit within 6 weeks.
