Pros

Most of the super jr people are nice and you might be able to make some friends through trauma bonding.

Cons

This place is an absolute nightmare. DO ANYTHING ELSE. GO ANYWHERE ELSE. Pay is unclear. Pay is structured like a toxic MLM that sells leggings. Everyone is basically slave labor for SSMs. Bosses are allowed to change your pay at any time without explanation. Management will promise pay they don't deliver on. Oh and MOST offensive of all is that your commission is dependent on you collecting on the money for the things you've sold. Sales is responsible and will be penalized if collections go over a certain number of days and all of your commission (even if other invoices were paid) gets cut in half. Political, cliquey, inhospitable environment to work in. Sexual harassment is an ongoing issue. Not to mention that they talk a big game about their products and only about a 1/3 are any good. Everything feels slapped together and nothing ever goes smoothly.

Micromanagement from the top

Pros

Flexible hybrid working conditions, though those are trying to be changed. They know how to throw a great party.

Cons

The CEO is the worst micromanager I have ever seen. He needs to approve every single penny that is spent instead of hiring good people to manage to a budget. He seems to have no trust in any of his employees to do their jobs given everything he has to personally approve (avoiding specifics to not make my position known). His most trusted advisors aren't even employed by the company, however they make most of the important decisions. He would rather fight a lawsuit about anything than doing the right thing for the employees. I have no idea how the company has been in business for so long and highly suspect it will not last much longer.
