Pros

- Compensation is pretty standard and overtime is covered - Got decent experience in my field while I worked there

Cons

- Upper management is difficult to deal with - Too many unrealistic deadlines with no real direction - Not given enough tools to do the job correctly and efficiently - Payroll is pretty complicated and getting paid once a month can be a hassle - For whatever reason, we would move our desks every other week - Inconsistent communication between upper management and middle management - No work life balance - expect to work long hours and not be recognized for your efforts - Must form your own LLC to work for the company and sign a contract that basically voids most common benefits you would expect from an employer

Pros

- Flexible hours - GREAT co-workers - The more you put in the more you get out - Hard work is always recognized - Great experience working with large companies - Open door policy where anyone will drop what they are doing to help you - Good work environment - The pay is good

Cons

- You may move desks a few times but it's only to tailor the perfect team to each project. The pro is that you get to work with different people and create new friendships.

Pros

-willing to hire straight out of college -Most of the people are nice and try their best

Cons

-You are required to form an LLC so the company can get around supplying overtime pay, benefits and taking taxes out on your behalf. They make it sound like you are an entrepreneur and it will be good for you, but it results in you essentially paying double taxes, as the taxes the employer would normally pay gets shifted to the employee. Employees are required to pay for all the registration of the LLC themselves, even though the employer requires it and must be completed before you receive any paychecks. -No benefits, no sick days, no paid time off at all. Even though they say you are an independent entity many of the constraints of the company mirror that of being an employee without any of the plusses. -Upper management actively seeds people against each other in a misguided attempt to motivate or make them fear losing their jobs. -will take anyone. Almost no one has a background in what the job entails and because of that results are mixed. -Management has little actual power without the CEO trying to micromanage. -Getting paid monthly is a hassle, and depending on your hire date you may not recieve a full paycheck until 2 months after hire.
