Svantaggi
a company in crisis. A clear lack of values - The values they practice, not the ones they write in their "maria yee" or "sun at six" brand statements. This result in management (a family of 4) saying all the things they think you want to hear, whether it is claiming to their clients that pieces are handmade while actually working on automation, or proclaiming they appreciate work while giving no raises or benefits to their employees, they inevitably fail to practice what they preach and go into hiding when they are asked of these failures. With their lack of values, their motivation is only the bottom line and an incredible sense of narcissism that closes them off to any sound advice or suggestion, and instead operates daily on telling lies to clients and employees.
The leadership rules by decree, micro-managing every aspect of the business, exhibiting deep mistrust and allowing no agency for any employee - it is abusive. Working here is confusing, demoralizing, demeaning, and offers next to no benefits. Pay is far below market rate, performance reviews are performative at best. leadership changes their minds on a whim, depending on which family member plays boss on any given day, policies change as they rotate around their titles, and between sun at six and maria yee.
This company lacks purpose, planning, profits and seemingly exists only to massage the egos of the founders and their adult children.
The best thing about working here is that it showed me everything I need to avoid in my future career, and having now started work at a different employer, I realize what it means to be treated with respect, be valued and trusted. it will take me time to recover from the experience of working here and i sincerely don't wish it upon anyone.
