Pros
A handful of coworkers who survive by fantasizing their departure.
Cons
A total narcissist boss who will jeopardize actual growth and sales, just so that she retains decision making power. She gets embarrassingly jealous of employees when they are right and she is wrong and lashes out in the weirdest ways. A group of us begged her to see reason on a project, where she insisted on projecting 9 million dollars worth of sales from it to a very reputable business partner. We begged her to not make a fool of herself and the company by saying those numbers, but she got angry when we questioned her about how she reached that number because she so obviously just made it up. I couldn’t breathe at that meeting and of course we lost the partner and the project (some 5 years worth of money resources and work went into it) - and it was never acknowledged. Never takes responsibility. Has been personally involved in every detail of this business- but if something goes wrong she is the first to say “ I wasn’t involved in it” and “now i will get involved and fix it” Makes everyone uncomfortable by saying how she works in the night, how she doesn’t wear jewelry, or make-up - and makes it very obvious that’s what she expects - but - no raises. She talks about her hard she works, about how the business makes no money and about how she is the expert at everything- and seem oblivious to the fact that those three things don’t add up. Her own som who has a part if the business- lies to the world by saying company is a Brooklyn studio - when literally his stuff is made in the same giant factory in china. It is an open secret that he lives in Brooklyn because he doesn’t want to work with his mother who is in California. Employees just have to suffer through all the dysfunction if these family members, and their policy that if anything goes right it’s because of how good the boss is and if anything goes wrong it’s because of you.
