Pros

The ownership does a great job offering benefits comparable to a much larger company (medical insurance, 401k, holiday pay).

Cons

Management, unfortunately, is where they seem to faulter drastically. There's no real management training that is done there. Promotions are offered to those people that "smooch hind quarters" the best as opposed to the more qualified individual. Supervisors and managers are promoted based on a "what have you done for ME lately" scale and not the "what have you done for the company" approach that respectable brands follow. So the only people that flourish there are those that care little about the company and more about the supervisor/manager that they have to cater to. Being intelligent and/or thinking rationally isn't a trait that they are looking for in potential candidates. They do an incredible amount of shady things in regards to their partners but I guess that just comes with being in business period.

Pros

You learn invaluable tools within OEM organizations It is a great place for those just out of college and have no monetary expectaions, they just want good International work experience. Tien Lowe - the president - is one of the most decent people you could ever want to work for.

Cons

Nepotism, nepotism, nepotism...need i say more?? The pay scale for what you do is not only not comparable to similar jobs in the country, because you have to live in south florida (where the cost of living is so much higher) it makes it impossible to survive for long unless you have family support. While Tien Lowe is a great person to work for and learn from, there are too many others in "power" that prevent employees from becoming all that they can be.
