Imminent Disaster - Senior Financial Analyst Coastal Management Resources Employee Review

Great work environment and small company so analysts can work directly with upper management. Great meals provided during the workday and during weekend meetings. Dogs allowed in the office and no drug testing. Plenty of opportunity for growth if you have immense attention to detail. Great for learning the real estate field and the entire development process. With such a small company you get experience in all aspects. Great location with affordable housing in southern california and the cleanest water in the state. Weekend excursions to beautiful coastal getaways were a plus as well.

Fellow employees are sometimes downers due to their own personality problems and unfairly blame upper management for their lack of work ethic and inadequate work quality. Your spreadsheets can't look like crap. People need to look at them and not be distracted by some numbers being right justified while others are left justified. Also if you can't remember after being told 20 times to print everything in triplicate then you are in the wrong line of work. And complaints about longer hours are just whining as far as I'm concerned. How many hours do people at Goldman Sacks work? Probably a similar amount. You either want it bad enough or you don't. They need more stringent hiring standards but being in the remote location they're in they can't be too picky.

It is unbelievable but there is nearly nothing positive to say about this company. I've tried to think about one single aspect but there is simply nothing good or positive or healthy about this company.

Where to start... The CFO, Eric, is an absolute psycho. He goes into shouting ragging fits. He is absolutely out of control. He punches his desk and has fits of anger where he slams the phone uncontrollably. Being that it is a very small office everyone hears and has to be subject to this unhealthy behavior. There is a forum where former employees are looking to file a lawsuit against the management team of this firm; rightly so. The joke around the company is that the firm focuses on completely useless minutiae. The CEO has a psychological disorder, OCD. She has no management ability. Most of the staff walk around complete depleted and exhausted. The company keeps time when people come and go as if they worked at a factory. Every member of the financial team is expected to work long hours with lower than average pay and horrific benefits package. The turnover at this firm is very telling of how horrible this company treats its employees. The only positive review here was written by the company itself.
