CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work From Home one day a week

Cons

Office does not have the same amenities as most companies Nepotism rampant (all the VPs are friends of the CEOs son, all unqualified) The average employee stays under 2 years due to mismanagement of priorities by management Horrible corporate culture, employees are expected to come in early and stay late just to show face. It is the norm for everyone to eat lunch at their desks. The company outlook is very poor. It is clear management is struggling and does not have a solid plan for the future of the company.
