Extremely Poor Working Environment

Pros

If you keep your head down, work lots of free overtime, and are satisfied working without bonuses, raises, or other perks, you might keep your job.

Cons

Everyone punches a time clock and is treated like an hourly employee, except that salary people are expected to work 45 to 50 hours per work. Employees are watched very closely and will be called out if they are perceived to be taking too many breaks, talking too much, or making personal phone calls. There have been several layoffs since I joined the company. They are usually used to just get rid of people and hire replacements. People have been fired because they had medical issues, family members with medical issues, or because the company found someone willing to work for less money.

Pros

The only benefits are the compensation, free coffee, and the 20% discount at The Ranch (owned by the same CEO), which is a pretty good restaurant, ironically.

Cons

The list is horrendous. First, they run a traditional HR practice. I read these reviews and thought of them as nonsense, before I worked there! HR is always on your back. And if you're late by a minute, expect to be penalized. You have to report to them when you're late or leaving early. They are very opened to fire you if you cross there boundaries. If you're late, or cannot make it in...They will try to replace you. I had to speak with leads and managers, but it's true. They only see numbers, not what you contribute to the company. Second, you can't wear cologne or scents, you cannot wear a beard. There is no casual dress day. They don't participate in charities (very greedy company, I believe...at least support schools!), you cannot smoke a cigarette (I don't smoke, but you can get terminated for it and I find it disturbing). You cannot go home, smoke, and return to work with any hint of the smell. You cannot reverse park near any wall. You have no privacy, at all, AND the workplace is not very diversified. I'm telling you this now, if you work here to support a family or to "retire," your live will be miserable. Everyone looks drained and rarely you'll see a smile.

Lacks Transparency; a Private Company with a Closed Culture

Pros

Pay can be great if you can show that u can bring value

Cons

Not a very fun place to work; a private company run by an owner and VPs, who have been there for a long time. Not open new ideas and management styles
