Pros

A small core of loyal employees who protect the CEO and post positive reviews every few months.

Cons

Ask these tough questions before you work here: 1 - Do you really instruct new hires post a review on Glassdoor after 90 days? 2 - I can see on LinkedIn that people are leaving faster than being hired. Why? 3 - Why don't you have an HR department after being in business for 20 years? 4 - Why did so many sales and marketing people recently quit after only a few months? 5 - Do I really need preapproval to work from any other location than my home office? 6 - Can I really not take any vacation for 6 months? 7 - Does my camera really have to be turned on all the time I am working? 8 - Can I really not take any sick days for 3 months? 9 - Could I really be without health insurance for my first 2 months? 10 - Am I really only allowed to communicate with other employees through Powerfront supplied software? Finally - there are so many negative reviews of your CEO spanning back years all saying the same thing; that he is "Toxic". And your COO wrote in her Glassdoor review that working here "will be uncomfortable". Please explain?

Pros

Management aside, the coworkers have a great team atmosphere. Definitely a good group of people.

Cons

Management is elitist, cliquish and places huge expectations on employees for VERY low pay. They have a requirement for most employees to be in a Zoom room all day. They promote a work/life balance but truthfully it doesn't happen. Holidays are not paid for (you have the option to take off for Christmas, New Years, etc but will not be paid). CEO is volatile and subject to outbursts. Not worth the aggravation for the salary.
