Absolute chaos

Pros

This place is very informal. There is no set amount of vacation or paid time off. Not sure if this is a pro or con, but aside from Christmas-time it's usually pretty easy to get time off or leave early.

Cons

The CEO has a tendency to be impulsive, which usually results in poor decision-making, lack of planning, and strenuous hours. Hours are extremely long. Average for the development team is 10 hours a day, sometimes longer. Pay is poor and benefits are not included. The office is extremely dirty due to poor upkeep and careless employees - fruit flies, roaches, etc. Desks and chairs are old, and the office in general is very unorganized. The CEO also regularly checks employee emails and private conversations and is not afraid to use words like "stupid", "idiot", and "retarded" when speaking to those around him. Training and furthering education is neither provided nor encouraged.

Pros

Nice co-workers, nice employee discount, free happy hour.

Cons

You will NOT be appreciated here. No warnings before getting sent to HR for stupid reasons, the family owners will fight in front of you, the owner seems like he has a constant stick up his butt (rarely saw him smile or be friendly. Wife is a sweetheart), employee turn-around is CRAZY, nothing is organized, and there's no room for raises and the benefits suck. Stay as far away from this place as you can!

Pros

There are some nice people that work there.

Cons

- Unethical work environment - CEO will yell at employees, call them stupid/"retarded" - Probably 25% of the company is related to the owner (hence the number of positive reviews) - Nasty office (flies, roaches) - Little pay, no benefits, no official vacation (aka no vacation) - 10+ hours a day for full-time employees - Cameras all over the office. Clearly no trust in the employees.
