Pros

Peers are good-hearted people. Somewhat flexible work schedule. Provides exceptional equipment and tools for employees.

Cons

Amateur executive management. Follows a management resource textbook because the executive team lacks overall experience. Demonstrated lack of care for overall employee well-being or growth. Dishonest management tactics, including deceptive communication to clients. All employees, except for the lucky ones in sales, are subject to extreme scrutiny including minor or mundane infractions. Interdepartmental politics and favoritism. A misleading attitude toward employees' work performance by management. An employee may follow the incorrect instructions for a long time without proper correction, only to be arbitrarily punished by management at any given moment. General lack of communication and transparency by upper management. Human resources does not work in best interest of employees and may even work to have an employee terminated without just cause. CEO projects that company will have vast growth without providing anything of substance to back this up.

Pros

Stable company with industry veterans on executive management team. Team building and commitment to growing revenue clearly evident.

Cons

Management team does not value employees and puts company success ahead of loyal workers. Not a family-friendly company and management team shows little understanding and regard for employee personal issues.

Pros

There really aren't many. The people on the bottom of the company ladder try to help each other out.

Cons

Management is poor, and communication is awful. There is little to no lateral or upward mobility. They do not offer yearly raises - you have to fight to have a conversation about your yearly raise and their reviews are always months behind schedule, despite having a small number of employees to manager ratio.
