No respect for employees

Pros

The company is profitable year after year. This is beneficial to those at the top. Otherwise there is no incentive to working hard.

Cons

Employees had to work off the clock and not get paid in the summer. Headcount is too low while employees are overworked. No work/life balance. Poor communication within the company. Impotent HR controlled by upper management that allows people with power to wield it unchecked. No formal training of new employees or uniform protocols. Leads to everyone doing everything differently. Employees were required to come to work right after Hurricane Sandy on Oct 31 even though most live outside the city, public transportation was not operating and many did not have power at home. There is a total lack of humanity and respect for employees.
