Not An Environment That Cares About The Employee

Pros

The only positive was that the 401K was matched dollar for dollar.

Cons

Employees are treated as though they are commodities & not human beings. The company has no interest in the employee's personal life. It is all about what can be done for the company (What have you done for me lately?). From a previous post & very true: "This mentality and culture are passed down from the management to the rest of the employees in the form of unrealistic time tables, over promised projects, and a non-existent work / life balance." The vacation allotment was one of the worst provided by an employer (1 week of vacation after 1 year of service; 2 weeks after 2 years; 3 weeks after 10 years). Salaried employees are "the property of the company" & expected to work 50-60 hour work weeks with no compensatory time off or additional pay. The environment is worse than the cancer that affects Mr. Corman himself.

"How can you be good on the inside if you don't look good on the outside?"

Pros

Lunch is provided for the Nicholasville based employees free of charge. 100% 401k match up to the federal limit of $15,500.

Cons

The owner and the president of the company foster a management through fear culture through the entire organization. Upper management is so closely micro managed that they are unwilling or unable to manage their respective companies with out fear of verbal lashings or termination. This mentality and culture are passed down from the management to the rest of the employees in the form of unrealistic time tables, over promised projects, and a non-existent work / life balance. Salaried employees are considered to be property of the organization, with the expectation of middle management to work 60 hours a week with 24/7/365 availability. No additional compensation is provided in the form of monetary or additional time off. Every employee is bound to the will of the owner. Anyone can be assigned any task, from cleaning the pool at his personal residence to loading songs to his new iPod.

Pros

It's considered the "best" place to work in the small town, until you work there and realize that upper management is so scared of the owner which is always around that they press their employees to hard to impress the boss.

Cons

When you work at the corporate office your expected to do odd jobs on the "farm" to please the owner, when the jobs performed are clearly not even in the same stratosphere as your listed job duties. Not to mention your always on call for the whimsy of the owner.
