This question already has an answer here:
Should I add a Glassdoor review for a company so small they will know it is me?
6 answers
About a year ago I started as a "front-end developer" at a local startup. Previously I had worked for my university and newspaper in various departments doing dev work, and had been doing freelance work as well. I had taken a bit of time off from things since then, moving back to my parents home town for personal reasons, and had just been taking it easy with a part-time job.
I feel like I was extremely friendly and jumped through hoops to do what they asked and kept a smile on my face the whole time, attempting to socialize with people older than myself with poor attitudes and superiority complexes. To this day I am still not sure why they let me go, but I am glad that they did. I am wondering if I should post on glassdoor about my experiences, hopefully letting others know about their shady practices, even though they will know exactly who I am? Perhaps it's none of my business at this point, but I feel like I could at least save someone else the trouble or at least let them know what they are getting involved in. Should I leave a review or should I just mind my own business and move on with things?

You should leave a review on a site like glassdoor if you can do so as neutrally as possible and if you feel it will not be a detriment to your further career. What do I mean by that?
"Did not receive health insurance in a timely fashion" is something you should let other's know about. "Run by deceiving man-babies" is not very helpful on the surface.
I mean, let's be honest here, as a prospect I would absolutely want to know both of those but one is inappropriate to a professional review. And that's what you should keep in mind, professionalism. Right now your question comes off as pretty 'ranty'. I think most readers can sympathize but it's not a great review nor is it professional. And, hey, that's cool - sometimes we just gotta rant right? But ranting of this sort is the kind of thing you don't want tied to your reputation because, legitimate or not, it tends to make you look worse than the company in question.
So what can you say? "High stress environment", "High attrition", "poor description of job duties", "slow to get health insurance information"... things like this could be part of a discrete, professional review. Try to subtract personal feelings from it and move away from 'deceiving manbabies' and more into a discussion of general problems you ran into.

Thanks for the answer, and I definitely agree to leave the opinionated bits out, I just figured that many users of this site would have dealt with similar situations and wanted to put things into perspective. I think concise points like you stated would probably be best, what I wrote was definitely a bit of a rant.

Everyone has an opinion. You are certainly entitled to air yours. Only fools believe everything they read, so if I read your review, I'll keep in mind that it is he POV of one person at a point in time.
I consulted once at a client site that was a political snake pit. While the parent organization was getting plaudits for being a good place to work, the client site was a horror show - That's the the truth for you, where not everything is white, not everything is black but a mosaic of white and black dots.
