Pros

Quite literally no pros. Only cons.

Cons

Abysmal professionalism or lack there of. The performative CEO role is embarrassing and poorly represents this startup. He is truly a narcissist. Additionally, I know how much he makes monthly, and how he financially screws the business and his employees by not offering basic benefits like healthcare and dental. I’m unsure of how the other employees hold their heads up working in such a toxic environment. Secondarily, there are so many resources online offered by tech nonprofits that teach many programming languages. This constructed educational hierarchy is bound to fail because of its unsustainable business idea. Look elsewhere for employment.

" You continue to provide personal attack on the CEO, who I believe you have hated so much. I am not sure how I have offended you or what we can do to atone for this attacks. With regards to health insurance : We provide Medical, Dental and vision insurance, 9 paid sick and personal day, two weeks of paid vacation, 6 national paid holidays and flexibility with our employees needs. We have kuerig coffee, tea and a snack bar. We do so many events, so we eat alot of food. And soon we will be moving into our new head quarters at 4356 Lindell bld. We have a great team of mission minded people. You also commented " Advice to Management No advice, this business is bound to fail."

Pros

None – unless you count free stress and anxiety.

Cons

If you value respect, fair treatment, and basic professionalism, run far away from this place. The owner operates with zero regard for employees’ well-being and treats staff like disposable tools. Promises of benefits, fair pay, and work-life balance? Pure bait-and-switch. Expect to be overworked, underpaid, and constantly disrespected. Speaking up about unfair treatment will get you ignored, gaslighted, or worse, punished. Decisions are made impulsively, with no transparency, and the blame always rolls downhill. Morale is non-existent because the culture is built on fear, favoritism, and control. Turnover is through the roof because people burn out or quit out of sheer frustration. I watched talented, dedicated staff walk away simply because no one can thrive under such toxic leadership.
