Pros

Exciting to work in an environment where everyone can be an entrepreneur. The company is small but has so many big clients it is on the cusp of growing exponentially. Accordingly, the small number of employees get to have a say in how that might occur. Hector Gomez, the CEO, is the man. He's an incredibly smart guy who pioneered the industry of online emergency preparedness software and who is always open to ideas. Management frequently asks employees for feedback about the company, and in doing so everyone's voice is heard. The CEO is always up for hearing our ideas, and will actually implement them if they are good. It gives everyone a sense of power. The other employees are all very nice and easy to talk to. If you excel at your position for a couple of years, stock options will be discussed. Ideal for those who want to be big fish in small ponds, especially if they want to help make that pond into an ocean.

Cons

The decor in the office isn't great. Sometimes it has the feel of being in a hospital. The bare minimum number of days are offered as holidays (i.e. Christmas, labor day), and there is no paid time off. That however is expected to change in the coming years.

Pros

Working at BSS is a great opportunity to work with well-known clientele right out of college. It was a very good experience with a great staff.

Cons

Some clients can be ornery and aloof.

Pros

The benefits of this organization is the opportunity to work with high profile clients. The company is small enough where it has a start-up vibe to it. Several initiatives can be shared and given the green light to move forward. The people here are very friendly and interested in getting to know fellow coworkers. The lunch options around this place are fantastic. Location is very central in downtown Pasadena.

Cons

The cons of this company mostly have to do with old paradigm of management style and sometimes unethical approaches to it. Nobody really trusted to talk to when dealing with serious company issues since there is no formal hr department. There is somebody that comes in every once in a while but still not a very effective approach to address company matters. Favoritism in this workplace is very noticeable. There wasn't much opportunity for growth. The pay tends to be very under market value for most people and there was also a lack of trust in getting a raise if there was a suggested date by management. The management often spoke badly about other employees behind their backs without proper way to address professionally to actual employees. Morale is very low due to poor management. Inconsistent set of expectations that would often lead to confusion and frustration in the work environment. The environment at this organization often feels very hostile because of management.
