Pros

Weekly Monday morning 8am meeting so that every one is there on time. Time clock for some employees to make sure some give the full 8 hour work day. No sick days which is nice because it means that there won't be any slack to pick up from coworkers taking time off. Work from home option for two employees, but nobody else. If you have a conversation with a co-worker, and you are a male, you get to go outside to have it so that the woman in the office don't think there is an 'old boys club'. Fresh air is always nice. There is no cell phone service in the office which is wonderful if you want to " get away from it all" for 8 hours. But that doesn't matter anyway because employees are forbidden from using phones inside the building. It's a win-win situation. No more texts from the wife to interupt the work day. The annual turn over rate is north of 50% so if you don't like your coworkers, that will change.

Cons

There might be some but I can't think of too many. I guess if you consider no pay raises, ever. That could be a con. No job promotions, ever. That's something an employee might consider a con. No holiday party, maybe another one.

Pros

They followed the Department of Labor rules and regulations. Offered health insurance. That’s about it.

Cons

I don’t even know where to start. I’m only giving one star because Glassdoor requires it. This company is the definition of micromanaging. I’ve never seen a management team so worried about what people wear or have at their desk. Do you have nothing better to do with your time?? At one point, the owner’s sister pulled all admin staff into a meeting so she could physically show us what shoes were acceptable in the workplace vs. not acceptable. Hi, it’s me...the adult you hired to work for you. I know the difference between opened toed shoes and close toed. I also read your handbook. I don’t need to be pulled into an all staff meeting to be shown the difference...I have work to do. Can’t have food or drink at your desk, unless the cup has a lid. Guess they want to ensure those Windows 3.0 systems last long enough to serve the next generation of employees. PTO was Jon existent. Unless your a sales rep, and a good one, you are basically treated like the the scum of the earth.

Pros

Pay is above average for the industry. Everything else is far below average. If you need benefits for you and your family, it's going to be costly.

Cons

The management. There was zero morale in the department. We didn't have team lunches, team outings, team anything. Everyone was micromanaged on tasks that did't matter (how to input notes into the agency management system THEIR way) but no real, important information was shared. The account managers were unhappy, and the sales team didn't have any guidance from the boss. We spent all our time updating sales spreadsheets rather than selling or bouncing ideas and strategy off each other. ONLY 10 DAYS OF PTO. No sick days. No personal days. As few holidays as they can possibly get away with. Completely unreasonable, especially if you have kids. You have to shave everyday. You're not allowed to eat at your desk or have any drinks without lids like a toddler. Calls are recorded. All internet activity is logged. I didn't even have enough security clearance to update adobe flash. You're not supposed to have your cell phone visible on your desk. Certain rules and exceptions apply to some employees, but not others. Boss was a total cheapskate. No cell phone. No mileage paid for. No gas paid for. No car available to use for trips. No plane ticket paid for (might be able to split it if approved in advance). No holiday bonus. No carrier incentive bonus shared with employees. This is cubicle world, and the one and only conference room available to use was always booked by other departments. You would never want to meet a client at the office for this reason. Cold calling from the office was awful too - one of the account managers was constantly being loud, negative, and trying to stir up office trouble, so it was impossible to concentrate. Any time you left the office you would have to report to everyone where you were going and what you were doing - even though the job was outside sales. This was mostly because the account manager mentioned above would complain because "they are in the office doing all the work" and the boss basically let her run the office. Word of advice. Read your non-compete very closely - or better yet, don't work here.
