CEO is Ridiculous!

Pros

Getting a check. The employees

Cons

I was really apprehensive to leave feedback due to the fact that the CEO is going crazy trying to figure out who's been leaving all these negative ones, he's been asking people to go in and leave positive feedback, but the truth of the matter is, that he's the only one that thinks this place is amazing. We've all talked about it and no one really is in love with this place as much as he wishes we would be. I'm sure that if he finds out who is leaving negative feedback he will certainly fire them, just like he's fired all those people who have not agreed with him or who he has felt threatened by in one way or another. The Chief Ceramicist is one to blame too. Going around asking people to leave positive feedback just so the CEO feels better about himself. How ridiculous is that?! The CEO is throwing a temper tantrum like a child therefore he must be given a treat to make him happy. I'm hoping we don't have to sit down and have another awkward meeting about all these reviews, which actually has made us all realize that this place is really not what it's painted to be. I've heard a lot of good hard working employees have been let go for the weirdest reasons, I'm surprised no one has come back to sue the company for wrongful termination. Personally, I'm already looking for a new job because of all this, the CEO is not what I thought he was and he's clearly showing the bad side everyone has been talking about lately.

Pros

The people at Fireclay are great. The teams are dedicated and enthusiastic. The CEO runs the company with pride and a hunger for growth. The product is beautiful, innovative, and it's produced with recycled materials. I truly believe that this is a great company, worth supporting.

Cons

There seems to be a breakdown of communication between management and the employees. There is a lot of uncertainty and speculation in place of open communication and growth. I can understand where some of the negative reviews are coming from, but I honestly believe this is a company full of good, dedicated people. This includes management. I think that issues arise when scapegoating and blame games become ingrained in the company culture, which is a result of opaque management.

Horrible Bosses

Pros

Pros: Dress up days and that's literally it

Cons

You are hired as a designer but you are expected to play all roles such as the plumber, electrician, the delivery man, and the IT when stuff breaks down, all because CEO doesn't want to pay a professional. When you aren't able to fix the problem, instead of saying something like "Thanks for trying" CEO gets angry at you and expects you to solve the problem by googling or watching you tube tutorials. Let's not get started on the broken down facilities that aren't to code standards. The factory is a mess! The compensation plan is so inconsistent its ridiculous. Employees fighting over who gets the commission and management never steps in, it's like they enjoy gossiping about it and seem to enjoy the drama. So many people were let go, they had to hire a lot of temps at the factory- even they walked out after a few days! So nobody knew what was going on with our orders in production!
