Pros

Nice vending machines. That is about it.

Cons

I was employed a short time with this company. During this time I reported to a manager that seemed to take an immediate dislike to me and I couldn't figure out why. There were times as I was completing my daily tasks I would over hear this manager speaking negatively of me to other employees. That was my first taste of how unprofessional things were at this company. As my manager got increasingly hostile, I decided to confront her about the behavior. She told me that I was not "bubbly, like the last Administrative woman." I was pretty surprised by her response as I thought I was getting on well with everyone, but it seems she couldn't get over the fact that I was a different person. I don't think its fair that I was being compared to a past employee as I was new and still learning my role. The next day I received an email from a colleague I became close with. The email said the company website had posted my job online. I went on the company website and sure enough - the job posting was back up for everyone to see. They were looking to replace me while I was still working for them and did it with zero discretion. The next day I asked HR and my manager about the job posting. I was given a ridiculous answer about it being "procedure" to post the job again within an employees first 30 days. What? I had never heard anything like this before. I knew they were trying to replace me but keep me working while looking for my replacement. Things like this happen all the time but I think most companies would have enough respect for the employee to do it in a discrete manner. Well.. not Ika Systems! They didn't care about showing any respect or stripping me of my dignity. I didn't realize why so many employees were leaving and why so many seemed unhappy at first - after what happened to me, I can see why.
