Pros

A great place to work if you are self-driven/motivated. The size of the organization and receptivity to ideas, thoughts and suggestions on how to build the business are key positive attributes.

Cons

You need to have an entrepreneurial spirit with a thirst to learn and grow in order to be successful.

A Company with the Foundation of a Wet Sock

Pros

I don't know if this can be considered a pro, but you're not the only one in the trenches. Also, most of the employees are amiable, and you gain a sense of camaraderie in your shared misery.

Cons

It feels like the company is a novice trapeze artist attempting to walk a length of floss in a hurricane. There is no communication between upper management and the people doing all of the work. There was more than one occasion where I felt the company was going under because of secret, shady deals going on behind closed doors. There is no opportunity for growth in the company. To apply for another position within the company, you have to jump through more hoops than outside applications, and you still will not get the position. This is just one of the many reasons that this company is a revolving door. Most of all, there is blatant favoritism occurring among the management. There a few employees who are awarded special privileges including unlimited work-from-home days and casual dress attire. This shows a disregard of professionalism, seeing as many employees are never awarded the opportunity to work from home and have to dress in full business attire. Furthermore, there is a tense atmosphere in the office created by management. It feels like an us-versus-them scenario. One manager is especially unfriendly and has limited knowledge of what it takes to run a company composed of hardworking people. The CEO is unaware of his employees unhappiness, and I would be surprised if he could one person working in the trenches. Also, it's poor pay compared to the workload. I could go on.

Pros

Competitive salary. Excellent location. There are some quality people here, but all are looking for new employment.

Cons

This is far from a legitimate company that teeters on the edge of being defunct. No structure, no career-pathing, no set priorities or policies, no professionalism, no business model... The list goes on and on, as this place is a free-for-all, steered by the ever-changing whims of an incapable and hypocritical management team. Run as far away as you can!
