TERRIBLE, BULLYING MANAGEMENT

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

good PTO, benefits, holiday time

Cons

The management is awful. They are rude, mean, belittling, and they micromanage. If you complain, they call you sensitive. If you make a mistake, you get yelled at. The person that yells at you gets a slap on the hand and it gets brushed off because they are "stressed" as if that somehow makes it acceptable.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people Flexible schedule Great Benefits Decent salary

Cons

-It is very difficult to get promoted for most people and it's not clear what is required to get a promotion. Pay increase after promotion is usually 5-10%, which is very low. -There are too many mid-level managers which makes it difficult to make decisions -People change managers too often which gives a sense of instability and uncertainty
