Micro Management at its Worst

Pros

The majority of the people you work with are fantastic.

Cons

Management has no clue as to how unfair and unbalanced they or their views are. The techs are asked to work/travel through their lunch hours, and if they don;t get to eat or want more time - they are advised to start early or stay late. They expect all of their employees - except for family and the two administrative people - to work at least 45-50 hours per week, and if they do not - they are reprimanded. However, management thinks this is not only fair, but also generous. Watch out though - salary here definitely does not work both ways. Even if you work over 40 hours that week - if you leave before 5 pm, they will take out vacation or personal time for it. During the interview process, they will tell you they do not micro-manage, but then you will have 15 plus emails in an hour asking about what you are doing.

Pros

A bi weekly pay check Non Supervisory staff are friendly and helpful

Cons

Being salary is abused and frequent lectures on not working over 40 hours. Condescending tech management without a tech degree or background. Benefits are poor and will be held over your head as collateral if the owner does not agree with you at any point. Lots of travel with a borderline illegal "lunch break" depending on where you need to travel. Mileage compensation was good until it became "averaged" and direct deposit. It got cut in half for most employees. Promises of education and opportunity are not followed through.
