Pros

Steady paycheck and great if you are a hamster who enjoys running full speed in the wheel with no family or friends to get in the way of working non-stop.

Cons

Micromanagement and an overall distrust of everyone and their abilities to do their job. Nepotism, and a constant "fire drill"

Potential many years ago. Soon to be gone.

Business Outlook

Pros

Many good team members, if they are left to execute on their own. Decent pay, decent discount on many brands. If you have a manager to buffer the ranting and bad decisions and directions of the top execs, you are lucky

Cons

CEO, COO, Treasurer run the company like a dictator state. They think they are still in Cuba. Bad decision makers. Prejudice, favoritism, and nepotism run rampant. Raises are given by the top execs, not performance. HR is non existent because it is run by the family. Every decision is made by the family. Shareholders beware.

Pros

Learn how to work with stupid management and non existing HR Dept.

Cons

Senior managers (owners) are vey volatile, no respect toward good employees. They do not want to hear the truth of anything . Family/ friends members working with the company should be pay a salary to stay home. They are hurting the company!
