Pros

There's new things to work on. They are always starting new projects

Cons

Management does not adequately compensate their employees. PTO time cannot be taken off without management becoming upset. Promises are not kept by management. Management is rarely ever working, but requires employees to be in the office everyday even when sick/ snow days.

We give young people without degrees the opportunity to bootstrap their career. Therefore the starting salary may be lower than the industry. We will provide a 6-month review and give generous salary increases. Paid-Time-Off is on accrual basis. We don't allow PTO for the first 90-days. This individual took more time off than they accrued.

Pros

This position has given me an excellent place to develop my career. The company invested in HubSpot, which is a great skill to have. HubSpot has a good training program. I create workflows to nurture the inbound leads. It's also fun to help to setup trade shows (many are small user groups). Other responsibilities include creating quarterly newsletters and press releases. I personally enjoy the company bowling parties and birthday celebrations. The company is into food celebrations around the holidays. For example, we all bring in food for the Thanksgiving breakfast and Cinco de mayo. Everyone got dressed up for our Halloween party!

Cons

You must juggle many projects at once. But a good way to learn how to multitask. You may not get timely performance reviews, but they give salary raises. I got one 6-months in.

Friendly coworkers, for the most part.

Cons

Problematic Management. New hires rarely lasted long unless they wanted to go above and beyond the provided pay and job description.
