Pros

- Seemed like an excellent company at first until I started learning what was going in behind closed doors - Small team - Close-knit - Fun work environment for the most part - Have the potential to earn good money, but you probably won't unless you are ready to work 12 hr days

Cons

- Management preaches that you can grow, but really tests you and dangles growth positions with no clear idea of when that could happen. This also happens with raises - Members of the team would be secretly offered cash or other incentives to learn a new skill and would be awarded publicly by CEO to prove a point - CEO was never in office and cared more about building his social media presence - Employees were constantly reprimanded in public - The 2 managers were essentially running the company and 1 of them was not doing it well - CEO was looking to move the company to Anthem (30 mins from current location) and lied to employees when asked - Management preached being open and honest with them, but would manipulate and twist the situation to make it as if it was your fault - Several people quit in a matter of 3 months... 5 employees which is close to 1/3 of the company - Favoritism was very evident - The success of the company was always put on us and we were never good enough. The CEO once said " people know when they are doing a good job, I don't really need to tell them" - 2 employees gave their notice and were not allowed to tell anyone until the CEO could have a meeting in which they were not allowed to be in and had to leave the office in the middle of the day - Management would lie to protect the integrity of certain employees while throwing others under the bus - Meetings could be extremely degrading and negative

Pros

Coworkers are great to work with. The support is needed

Cons

CEO makes a lot of false promises. Sells a product full of lies to already hurting businesses, yet treats his own employees horribly. Don’t expect to be trained, you’ll get thrown to the wolves knowing little relyong on coworkers for support, promised by management to help you know what it is you’re actually doing, then they will fire you and blame you even though the company as a whole is failing. Hard to help business owners when you know the product is garbage.
