Vantaggi
The business is growing. From my limited understanding, the business wants to have a positive culture... They do weekly breakfasts and have a lot of work socials. I was at least given a small severance for the abruptness of my being let go.
Svantaggi
I was let go without any warning or a valid explanation. They stated they wanted someone with more experience, however the job posting is exactly the same, and is still up 6 months later. The employees were explicitly told not to communicate with me after I was let go, which is specifically odd, leading me to believe there was untrue gossip going around about me. Not surprising considering it's a very small office staff with little management oversight in the day to day. I would expect that if there was an issue with my performance or behavior, it would have been discussed with me, but all other employee's received monthly reviews, while I didn't have one in the 6 months I was there. Expectations of me were never clearly discussed as the company was going through a major change in management when I was hired. I worked several hours of over-time on salary pay, but the moment I was switched to hourly, over-time was no longer allowed. Ryan Puccinelli seemed like a great business owner to work for. He's energetic, positive, and a go-getter, however I was highly disappointed with the lack of professionalism that my employment was dealt with by him and the new management.
