Poor leadership from the very top - Company has gone solvent

Pros

The pay was good but that's about it

Cons

The company has since gone solvent. The CEO had no clue what he was doing and was in well over his head when it came to manufacturing. We relied solely on investors to keep the the company afloat. 2 months ago, everyone in the company had their paychecks delayed by nearly a week. We were told this was because of a "payroll" issue. Come to find out directly from the horse's mouth: We had no money to pay the employees. Just yesterday, Oct. 8th 2021, we found out the company has gone solvent because we had numerous investors pull out from investing in the company. Because of this, Plethora had no money to pay employees and no money to pay back the immense amount of debt they had accumulated and owed to our investors and business partners. Over the last 3 months Plethora was in business, an immense amount of people had left the company and Jim Quinn the CEO, was doing all payroll & HR work, in addition to a lot of finance work, and multiple other roles on top of that. Investors did not trust Plethora and quite frankly did not trust Jim, and rightfully so. He is not a very good leader at all and I've seen him personally interact with multiple employees and speak to them like they were lesser individuals that didn't matter. Our finance guy even received a call from his recruiting agency telling him they wanted him to find leave the company because they would no longer support or do business with Plethora as long as Jim Quinn was running things and they found him another position at another company right before Plethora folded up shop. Jim even tried to get him to "fix" the numbers on some of the balance sheets to make things look better than they were. Obviously, Plethora is no longer around due to Jim's many failures, but if you happen to be in the market for a job and notice that the CEO is Jim Quinn, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere, unless you want to continuously be lied to about how the company is doing financially.

Pros

Great opportunity to get exposure to a possible future of manitdacturing. Opportunity to get involved at all levels of manufacturing. Opportunity to learn what it takes to fail after success. This company has many obstacles between poor team management and disorganization. Although I had no qualms with my time there. But it is not for the weak or kind hearted. There is a secret society of upper team management which is very deceiving. I can agree with most of the recent reviews on here and there is not many positive things to say about this company other than the individuals I had a chance to work with and make stronger relations within the manufacturing industry The actual factory app is amazing, all in one. The product being the software is actually manned rather than automated.

Cons

Ever seen an owner of a dog tell it to do something and get beat down for doing it right or not good enough? Well that’s what happened within this facility. I witnessed a drive by sales and management to hit goals that were not capable of reaching OTD within production. Then a team get shamed by the COO/President for not making it happen. I witnessed mandatory O.T. and still it was not enough. There were no pats on the back, hand shakes or even the upper management teams stepping in to lend a hand to achieve success. I watch what was supposed to be on-demand manufacturing turn into 90% outsource. A build up to inflate numbers only to layoff and move. I understand business, but what I don’t understand is the ability to make promises to employees and customers that are only lies. It’s a hustle for money with very little delivery. I myself was a key to its quality success with very little reward other than O.T. Benefits were amazing, I left because those eventually were modified and became average as well as non Competitive.

Pros

They offer free lunch once a week and nice swag items.

Cons

Everything about this company sucks! The 1st problem is the CEO who is power driven, has staff that doesn't respect him, and whose leadership team doesn't connect well with him.
