Pros

Lunch is provided for the Nicholasville based employees free of charge. 100% 401k match up to the federal limit of $15,500.

Cons

The owner and the president of the company foster a management through fear culture through the entire organization. Upper management is so closely micro managed that they are unwilling or unable to manage their respective companies with out fear of verbal lashings or termination. This mentality and culture are passed down from the management to the rest of the employees in the form of unrealistic time tables, over promised projects, and a non-existent work / life balance. Salaried employees are considered to be property of the organization, with the expectation of middle management to work 60 hours a week with 24/7/365 availability. No additional compensation is provided in the form of monetary or additional time off. Every employee is bound to the will of the owner. Anyone can be assigned any task, from cleaning the pool at his personal residence to loading songs to his new iPod.
