Pros
There are definitely some very good and competent employees, unfortunately they are often not allowed to make decisions because everything is micromanaged by totally incompetent owner.
Cons
If you are looking for a place with a massively incompetent owner, who acts like a child and verbally abuses 50% of the staff while talking badly about the other 50% behind their back, then SaltWorks is the ideal location for you. If there was a reality show for worst boss/owner in the United States, then the SaltWorks CEO would easily make the quarter finals. There is nothing redeemable about this man. He screams at people in meetings to the point they cry; he not only talks inappropriately to female workers but if you are female, you may be unfortunate enough to get sent one of his personal ‘sexy’ pictures. He is constantly demeaning employees and acts like a petulant child on a daily basis. It used to be a remarkable company with significant growth but almost all that growth came when his wife was running the company. She was clearly the competent spouse because when she left the company went downhill with Mark Zoske running it all. It seems almost impossible to be both a micro manager while being too scared to make a decision but the CEO has somehow mastered both qualities. If you become an employee and make a company decision expect to be yelled at. If you become an employee and don’t make a decision expect to be yelled at. If you don’t get yelled at that only means he has sent emails behind your back to your co-workers saying how he does not like you. I have seen demeaning emails about employees that would cause a CEO to be removed from any and all public companies in the country. He not only talks terribly about employees but also about almost every customer. There is not a single major company that buys SaltWorks products that Mark Zoske has not said terrible things about. If they knew what he says about them they would be disgusted. If you want to know what you are in for with the SaltWorks CEO think of a cross between Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un, Bill Cosby with just a dash of David Duke, and that would make a more likable leader than Mark Zoske. Just think how much fun you will have witnessing this type a carnage every morning you go to work. If you think this is an exaggeration it is actually worse. Run away, run very far away!
