Pros

They have an attractive work space and "fun" events.

Cons

If you don't participate in "fun" events you will be blacklisted. You will never receive a raise, the only chance that you might is if you ask repeatedly. Your opinion will not matter because the president apparently knows everything and only surrounds himself with people that affirm that. Be ready to kiss-up or you will not last long. You will never be appreciated for your hard work and devotion, in fact you will be regularly accused of being incompetent. Even the company "awards" are rigged to serve an agenda. You will not be adequately trained or supported and then later be blamed when you fail. Your expectations WILL be unrealistic. The systems are faulty and cumbersome, everyone has issues and they are never addressed. Roles and people are regularly eliminated on the whims of the president (nobody is above this possibility at anytime), laws and rules don't apply. Management can be quoted saying over and over that turnover is a good thing, majority of employees last less than 3 years here. I can go on and on but that should be clear enough. Sales positions or remote roles are the only thing I would attempt here, the further you are from the top the more likely you are to have something that resembles a positive experience. If you don't value your mental health or mind making money for a complete monster this might be the place for you. It looks so sleek and modern and they will spew a ton of promises and speak a big game to lure you in but it will not take long for you to see that is a carefully constructed illusion.

Pros

Fun events with free food and drink but you have to be in the in crowd to actually have a good time because it is like a high school clique.

Cons

This place truly put a strain on my mental health. I woke up every morning miserable and not wanting to go in. The warehouse enviornment was stressful and overwhelming, the manager was basically screaming at people that they had to work the weekend and forced the small group of us to come in all the while belittling us. That man thinks he's smarter than the whole world and he enjoys making people feel bad about themselves. He's given his order control lady the green light to boss everyone around even though she has no title.
