"Too many hours per week, boss is paranoid about every employee, cameras set up to watch employees Boss is unapproachable, literally. No comraderie within employees. Employees are nasty to each other, for no reason."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"TRUST the people you hire, or do not hire them. Care about your employees! They are helping YOUR company. Salary should mean 40-45 hours, NOT 50-55 hours per week. We have family too. Warnings to employees who disrespect each other. THAT makes it hard for everyone. Your employees are scared of each other, and of you. Not very comfortable. That leads to people not being loyal, and not wanting to work for you."
