This is a small company that operates at a financial deficit. The CEO prides himself on not nurturing a “sales bro culture” in the company but only rewards those who nurture a dysfunctional work environment. The management team is primarily composed of unqualified and inexperienced individuals who have personal connections with the CEO, managers are fed their deals and revenue by their team but often preach their dedication and hard work after showing up to the office for 2-3 hours a day at most. Notably, the majority of five-star reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed are authored by current employees who are required to write them, by management’s request. The company often resorts to intimidation tactics to drive productivity, frequently threatening to fire employees and requiring participation in excessive overtime and requests that extend beyond employees' job descriptions while refusing to pay overtime wages. For instance, employees were required to stay until 10 pm with last-minute notice, even if they had family obligations. In addition, employees were required to attend a 5 a.m. workout where management ran around with their shirts off, yelling obscenities and reminding employees of the importance of their “dedication” to the company. The company also terminated a pregnant employee without prior notice and appeared to derive amusement from her reaction to her termination, having laughed about it during a subsequent meeting with other remaining employees. Employee turnover is quite high due to the company's reluctance to hire individuals who might challenge the management's questionable conduct and poor working conditions. Any individuals who do not validate the frat-like culture that the higher-ups value are immediately targeted and fired. The company also lacks proper office furniture, leaving employees to make do with filing cabinets as makeshift desks. Meanwhile, the CEO and management team spend well into the six figures gambling on weekends. Recently, employees were asked to accept significant pay reductions or face termination with a meager severance package, after having hired a team of individuals (who are personal friends of the CEO) that come into the office late and spend most of their afternoons golfing on the clock. To sum up, the company promises a great work environment, but will not tolerate any individuals that question their unreasonable and illegal behavior.
