Pros

Co-workers and the actual worker bees are amazing to work with.

Cons

The CEO acts like a child if he does not get his way. He does not care about making sound business decisions that will benefit clients, he only develops things that HE likes. He will actively lie to clients about available functionality. He will make large business decisions against the advice of qualified individuals then blame it on them when it turns out to be a $100,000 mistake. He fires anyone at the drop of the hat and constantly has a list of people that he wants fired. He gloats that he can do anyone's job in the company better than them. When he doesn't feel someone is performing at what HIS interpretation of the role is, he will call them into his office and degrade their very existence on this planet for an hour. He has anger management issues and makes hiring and firing decisions out of fits of rage. Honestly, he openly despises that he even needs any staff at all and cannot magically make things happen on his own. Associates are expected to do five other roles outside of the role they were hired for and then scolded and eventually fired when they're not able to do everything at once. The CEO will also keep a log of when every employee arrives at the office, what vehicle they drive, and when they depart for the day. He walks around the office at 6 pm every night and congratulates associates for putting the company before their home life. The expectation is that if you are not making personal sacrifices, you are not working hard enough for HIM. The misogyny and s*xism that occurs in this company is profound. All women are eventually demoted or fired. Women will often find themselves the only woman in the room and the men will make sure to laugh, scoff, and speak over women at any opportunity. Your voice will never be heard or valued.

No cons at the moment.

Pros

Majority of the "boots on the ground" employees are kind, hardworking, and genuine.

Cons

The major con of working at Propio is the toxic work environment. This is a top down issue. The C-Suite is completely disorganized and ran by large egos. This trickles down to the director/manager level positions. It seems that managers were promoted based on who you are and not what you bring to the table. It is very clear there is a lack of people management training and bad habits were adopted from the C-Suite. If you are in search of a company that provides professional development, keep looking. The lack of communication, organization, and moral compass leads to a toxic work environment for those at the bottom of the totem pole. There is also a lack of diversity among leadership in both race and gender, very disappointing for a "modern language services" company.
