Terrible Owner + All Stick, No Carrot At The End Of It Where do I begin? -Zero to no accountability, and no room for any advancement or raises. -The owner is ego-filled with no clear idea of what happens in his business. When I was hired, they hadn?t done inventory on their entire DVD stock and were almost shocked when I did it all by myself. I also re-organized their entire warehouse single-handedly and they were shook. I found things on the shelves that they had no idea what they were or how they got there. Very telling of a business owner when you can bring light to a serious gap in their business and they don?t really seem concerned or grateful for that effort. -I put in an 18 day notice, the business owner whined that it wasn?t enough notice during the holidays. Does he not know CA employment laws? The 18 days was a courtesy, I could have bailed in one day. He then interviewed and hired someone within 4 days. I was informed by the new hire (who I trained btw) that he talked me down in the interview, both about my 18-day notice and my future endeavors that I shared in my notice. He also wonders why he can?t keep a shipping manager staffed (they?ve had 4 in the last two years)... Way to poison your own employees! -He will talk you down on your hourly rate when interviewing, yet he has 3 cars, a house with a pool and 4 dogs he neglects while at work. But he has great teeth, so why would you need more money? -Poor presentation and haphazard insurance offerings. I had to press and chase for solid information, and the offerings were paltry based on what I was making. The insurance costs would have eaten a sizeable chunk of my monthly take. If they would have paid more.... hmmm. -Part of the job they don?t tell you is that the dogs that run around the building at all times will poop and pee all over near the area you work and unless you clean it up, no one really will... so your work area smells like a hot urinal most days unless you take ownership of that. They won?t. -Common sense business communication amongst the 6 -7 employees is almost non-existent, and when it does exist, it?s broken communication. No follow through and accountability on that either. - The one and only sales person there barely makes enough to live on. The other customer service person that exists there has the position if only because that?s all they have for him to do. With that, he causes unnecessary drama in a Chicken Little way. Example: We put out a sales flyer for DVDs and product via mail order, and he?ll get all riled up exclaiming things like ?OH MAN, GET READY...THE PHONES WILL BE FLOODED AND THE ORDERS WILL BE PILING UP!! LOOK OUT!!?.... I went through two sales cycles, and none of that was true. We had sales and we had phone calls, but it was nowhere near the ?flood? that he painted out loud. He clearly has never worked for major volume e-commerce or customer support in his life. However, he has plenty of time to sit in his cubicle and watch The View, YouTube, CNN or be on Twitter all day. Wild. - Hired as a shipping manager, but also had to handle customer support, inventory, and receiving. Wore 4 hats at the company, took ownership of those roles, yet there is zero room for any advancement or raises (all stick, no carrot at the end of
