Mercenaries, not Employees. - Installer Boston Barricade Employee Review

Employee owned. Great coworkers. Good benefits

Culture shift when switched to employee owned.

The company has been growing. Many of the employees are hard workers. Although there have been many capable managers they frequently have been fired for setting boundaries with the CEO rather than for lack of competence.

Frequently friends and family of the CEO are hired. Sometimes they are quality employees, sometimes not. I have seen employees that are major assets to the company fired for absurd or unsubstantiated reasons. It seems amazing that people working 7 days a week, sometimes 80 hours or more, who have been instrumental in the growth of the company have been terminated. Current and prospective employees should be warned that accepting a salaried position can be used as a license to work you practically to death. In part due to growth, the company is terminally understaffed.
