Pros
They provide lunch on Mondays.
Cons
This company has one of the most toxic cultures I’ve ever experienced. Women are routinely dismissed, talked down to, and excluded, and I personally witnessed racist and misogynistic remarks go unchecked. HR takes no meaningful action because leadership is a tightly knit group that protects each other rather than employees. Favoritism is rampant, and advancement has little to do with merit. Many employees are from Riverside, IL, the same town that the CEO is from. Many of them are unqualified for the roles from Riverside. The workplace culture can best be described as “just do your job”, creativity, effort, and initiative are not valued. Most employees are visibly unhappy, and morale is very low. The office requires a rigid 8–5 schedule, five days a week, with no flexibility, and leadership keeps a close eye on when people clock in. It creates an environment where people are simply counting down the hours until they can leave. The CEO comes across as arrogant and disconnected, with little understanding of the realities most employees face. Leadership overall seems out of touch, with a narrow worldview that trickles down into how decisions are made and how people are treated. Women in particular are not respected; I’ve seen their contributions dismissed and their ideas shut down.
