Pros

Consistent 9-5. Paid lunch. Good people to work with, Gets worse the further up the chain of management you go.

Cons

Micromanagement is the management style the owners and VP chose to follow. Any and all tasks will be viewed under a microscope and filled with scrutiny. They do not trust their employees to do their job, even if they are proficient at said task. I cannot express the amount of micromanagement that takes place in this company. Terrible pay compared to the high value workstations being sold. And the skill to build them and all other employee roles that play a part in the process. You could probably make more on unemployment insurance. Constant addition of responsibilities. You cannot push back on these responsibilities because in the job description it states anything to help sumuri. Leadership in the company is very low. Any specialties an employee may offer is swept under the rug and ignored because they know better. Even considering managements lack of a business background. Zero recognition given to employees even after years of working for them. Management in the company constantly gives customers unreasonable expectations, does not inform employees of these expectations. Management plays favorites and it is quite obvious. If you are not going to the post office with the owner you are not a favorite. If something goes wrong someone always has to be at fault. There is never a hiccup in the system or an accident. They seem to believe employees mess up on purpose. Benefits are non existent. Only 8 days of PTO when starting, no health insurance, no life insurance, etc. Common reputable business practices do not exist here. It seems management prefers a fly by the seat of their pants approach. It is very evident when everything becomes a code red emergency and everyone is scrambling to find a solution.

Pros

The core mission of the company - to assist Law Enforcement and to protect victims of abuse and trafficking - is a noble one, and one that, despite SUMURI LLC's many shortcomings, shouldn't be dismissed. The vast majority of ground-level employees are always honest, hard-working people with a positive attitude (which, unfortunately, always ends up getting soured over time). SUMURI LLC is never open at night, on weekends, or during any Federal Holidays, so there is a true work-life balance. Dress code is very lax so long as you don't wear anything obscene. Occasional pizza parties, and an annual Holiday party in the Wintertime.

Cons

This company is only 15 years old. On average, the company only houses between 20 to 50 people at any given time. Only 3 are in the highest echelon of Management. In the last 5 years, 69 people came and went: 16 were let go, and 53 quit. Those that quit all cited the same reasons as every other negative review here, even those dating as far back as possible: micromanagement, mismanagement, lack of trust, shifting goalposts, favoritism, passive-aggressiveness, piled-on responsibilities with no extra pay, and unrealistic expectations. So in 15 years, nothing has changed or improved. SUMURI LLC's greatest folly is its uncanny ability to hire incredible people, whittle them down, and end up pushing them back out the door. Take this information as you will, and apply at your own risk.
