I'm glad I had the opportunity to work for this company and learn everything about what not to do in business. The owner makes poor business decisions at the cost of the company and everyone who works for him. Then, he blames everyone who works for him for his own failure.
Any motivated individual who goes to work for this company and has a minimal level of common sense quickly realizes that his or her work is futile since Louis quickly reverses any positive results an employee achieves. Compensation is poor, and benefits are literally non-existent.
There are people working for this company for very low wages, and these people don't even get company-provided insurance to take care of their families. I asked him why he doesn't offer even basic health insurance, and his response was 'That would cost me $40,000 a year.' I'd venture a guess that he probably blows that much money per quarter on frivolous whims.
Louis seeks to degrade and humiliate his employees in what I believe are his efforts to diminish his employees' sense of self-worth. Over time, the employee begins to believe he isn't good enough to go anywhere else. He not only seeks to belittle his employees professionally, but he will use whatever weaknesses a person has in his or her personal life to degrade said person.
I've had several of his staff confide in me things he has said to them behind closed doors, and those things are not only offensive but completely unethical. I've watched him scream at his employees in temper tantrums fit for a two-year-old.
I personally wouldn't buy even one of this company's products. I wouldn't trust the quality and safety, but even if I did, I know what all of the staff at OneUp has to go through on a daily basis to make this product available to consumers. I wouldn't contribute to his abusive behavior.
The Liberator product is marketed as a classy brand that couples can use to enhance their sex lives, but there is nothing classy about the owner's behavior in business and abuse of his under-paid, under-valued staff. He's blowing his money, he doesn't care about his product, he doesn't care about his people, and he doesn't care about his consumer. So, my suggestion would be that you buy somewhere else.
And although I hope by this point, it goes without saying, if you're considering employment with this company, take my advice and stay on the job hunt. It's not worth the money. This place is the epitome of misery.
