CBT Nuggets reviews

A (now ex) coworker was a good worker: he got good performance reviews, was a good teammate who helped out other employees, and just generally cared about the company and the work he did. He showed up one day and they fired him. No real reason. The owner just didn't like him. This guy has a family to support and had no idea this was coming, Sadly, this is not a lone occurrence at CBT Nuggets. Lots of good employees have been let go without any warning for no good reason. There is literally no job security here. Even people who like risk will find the turnover here just too high. Definitely not worth it. The communication here is terrible. They’re great about letting you know the lunch menu or what kind of coffee is in the maker, but important information is left to trickle through the grapevine, like a particularly annoying game of telephone. But this is not surprising, the owner acts like a child for whom the company is one big game.

The owner fails to understand that even when you’re trying to create a fun, non-stuffy culture, you still need to have some basic respect for your employees. This guy is beyond inappropriate. Here’s just a sampling of some of the things you can count on from him: Trash talking and revealing personal information about former and current employees. Yelling at and criticizing employees loudly and in front of others. Disgusting practical jokes on employees involving feces. Harassing women and embarrassing them in front of others by calling them names and making perverted jokes. Making ridiculous business decisions that have terrible outcomes and then punishing employees for it. Working here is a humiliating experience. I wouldn’t refer anyone to CBT Nuggets.
