Pros
-Decent FT employee benefits -A couple of paid holidays
Cons
-Toxic/depressing environment -Commissions may go unpaid if you do not keep track -Lack of confidentiality, including in "HR Department" -Very gossipy/dramatic/high school like atmosphere; cliques "gang up" on you. -Some incompetent, capricious employees -- rude to customers, do not use spell check/do not know how to use spell check, send catty & unnecessary emails (shared among other employees for entertainment purposes when you do not bow down to the offenders) -Incredibly condescending owner who makes you feel stupid and uncomfortable. -You can easily become the pack mule of the office; work will be piled up on you as old employees (from years) are "busy with work": socializing, shopping online, browsing the net, etc. You can do 10x as much work as other employees yet be expected to do others' jobs (justifications for this will be brought up to upper management) and criticisms/complaints will be bountiful.
