Pros

The salaries are excellent for Eugene. The employees are generally friendly. Interesting growing business with many opportunities. Some interesting benefits. Attractive workplace.

Cons

CEO childish behavior with difficult micro managing work style. Air of racism, sexism and bullying tactics couched in faux "integrity" and cult like "humility" speak. Bizarre behavior in workplace. Ex: CEO brought young son to boardroom meeting to sit at head of table and instruct department heads in one humiliating incident. Many examples of poor judgement. Extraordinarily high employee turn over rate. Benefits come with strings attached.

Pros

Good pay Great benefits Many great people Perks

Cons

TRUE: you have to manage the management TRUE: Lack of strategy or vision. TRUE: Supervisors are in covert relationships with subordinates. TRUE: Arbitrary decision making/hiring/firing based on a cult of personality, ego, and politically motivated ill will. TRUE: Mixed messaging, intolerance to feedback, favoritism. Priorities change every day. Management gives no direction, until it decides everything needs to be COMPLETELY different. That is not exciting innovation. It is stupid. Criticism is not tolerated. Ask questions or raise concerns at the risk of your job. Climate of secrets and lies that generates widespread paranoia.

Pros

There really aren't any in the long run. I used to think there were some but now understand that all the pros are just veiled cons.

Cons

I can't begin to list them. Read all the 1 star reviews... they are all true. All of the 5 star reviews are staged by management, friends, family, and/or new hires that don't know any better yet. Dan Charbanaeu (CEO) is not an honorable man, plain and simple. If you make a deal with a dishonorable man you get what you deserve. That is a lesson that took me years after being employed there to fully learn. There is no verbal or written agreement that Dan is not willing to violate for his own ego.
