- Broken Aesop: A common criticism of the show since many of the problem(s) of the employees shown is actually because of low compensation rates and horrible working conditions - something that the CEOs rarely if at all actually assess.
- Funny Moments:
- The "Battle of Poop".
- Igor's attitude in general. Such as entering the "Siberia room".
- Harsher in Hindsight: The Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill episode, where an employee was fired for refusing to wear a bikini on camera, while another one was rewarded with breast augmentation. The episode caused numerous complaints against CBS and Bikinis, and as a result several Bikinis were rebranded as Gino's East, with the restaurant chain eventually ceasing operations in late 2018.
- Paranoia Fuel: What if that 'new employee' is actually your boss wearing a disguise? And the reason they're in disguise is so they can look for excuses to fire you? Better not get too comfortable and say too much.
