The "free breakfasts" once a week are because you're required to be in 1hr 15 minutes early on wednesdays for an all associates beating... err meeting. So not really "free" but comp for getting in 1.25hrs early. When they said there'd be some over time, they weren't kidding. But since you're salary, 60+ hours weekly doesn't affect them much. But your personal life takes a toll. You're expected to be available 24x7 Very often, the attempt to increase motivation came in the form of psychological browbeating. Hypermicromanaged. When you ask for clarification or direction on a project, you'll get a "why do I need to be involved" but also then get critized when you took the project in a direction they didn't expect or end up wanting. There was an excessive amount of wildly in appropreiate sexual (locker room) comments made frequently by the owner towards/about the employees and/or customers. But since the owners wife is "HR", no where to really go with that one. No work life balance. For the employees. No raises to your already low salary. ~30-40% below market. There are bonuses, however IF you get them, they also don't change in level so after a few years the net affect is null. They never went outside the organization to learn. Not about our technologies. Not about their business practices. Not about how best to treat their employees. There were several talks that were held after waves of employees had left. But nothing changed. Lip service was all it ended up being. Forget trying to fix it.

Lack of organization Work/life balance suffers often Very Low Pay / No Raises. Owner very driven, but can be very "touch and go" / disconnected from company culture needs and internal processes Deep micromanagement undertone. Sometimes feels like a lack of trust in employee competency. Some management has the "we've always done it this way" attitude Unclear chain of command amongst supervisors / management Culture can be dry. Outside of the once yearly gathering, not much is done to create a collaborative office culture and foster real relationships amongst employees.
