Svantaggi
These cons are based on my personal experience with the company, an are not to be represented as factual claims:
- Zero leadership. In the time I worked with the company, I had seen the owner, maybe 20 times.
- Poor Morale. This is likely due to again, lack of true leadership, and a fundamental concern that you may lose your job at any moment. This was especially a concern when interviews became more frequent, passwords are changed - and most employees who are there for >2 years would agree there is a general anxiety behind all of that, especially in the showroom.
- The co-founder/HR manager also happens to be the owners wife, which is not that shocking for a business that size - but I think is a con because it makes filing any disputes or grievances without concern for your employment with the company impossible.
- To my knowledge, this business follows at-will employment, which means they can and will terminate your employment with no reason, or warning/discussion.
- There's little to no diversity within the company excluding the wonderful shipping/warehouse crew, who without - the business would not succeed.
- Little to no recognition for your work, and are expected to "find something to do" when and if your day is slower than another. Which is great if you are a mind reader, or as they say "Self Starter".
- You are expected to wear more than one hat if you plan on sticking around, or seek higher pay.
