Horrible Management and dont care about their employees

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent vacation time - 20days plus 3 personal days. Nothing else

Cons

Horrible management that doesn't communicate to their employees. No opportunity for growth they only promote people they like and there are only very few of those. The bonus is laughable below 3% and they don't give annual cost of living raises. Management demands you to work a lot of OT and weekends - no work life balance whatsoever.
