High turnover. Some departments lose employees more so than other ones which should probably be addressed to identify issues. Aside from people fleeing for healthier workplaces, others disappear without management providing an explanation to staff.
Office is extremely quiet and not because of employee personalities. It is due to the CEO projecting a fearful environment where he will fire you on a whim if he just dislikes you or your ideas for the company. So of course people will be less inclined to say anything openly to the CEO, colleagues or their managers about anything. If you think you are safe after the three month probation period, you are not and are expendable at any time.
Manager and employee feedback is ignored by CEO and CFO so any real positive changes to make the workplace is impossible. Some managers ignore the workplace problems to retain their jobs and remain on CEO's good side.
If you resign or leave the company no matter how long you worked here, the CEO will not acknowledge your contributions to the company and awkwardly avoids contact with you or by isolating himself in his own office. You instantly make his enemy list.
Poor priority management based on CEO's spontaneous nature across departments.
Company website looks terrible and outdated. Site lacks an actual list of clients like its competitors which makes company look less credible and professional.
Lack of growth opportunities.
Paid once a month. Only places that use this practice are financially unstable companies with poor revenue generation resources.
