A company that is family operated has its quirks. There is always going to be a bit of favoritism, and a bit of a "strong" view on things. Checkwriters is far beyond that.
Department relations are not good, and any ideas that differ from the family's get you shut down, and some times in trouble. Many projects are left unfinished because a family member jumps in last minute. People walk on eggshells in the office because of fear of judgment. It is a scary operation to be a part of.
They preach about equity and connection, but in reality, they don't practice it. Even despite guidelines they claim to adhere to. The higher-ups run a Youtube podcast where they praise companies that perform massive lay-offs, strip away DEI, and require on-site work. Oh yeah, be afraid to work remotely. They let you, but you will often hear about how you are not as valued (just listen to the podcast).
