Pros

Pretty cool vision for a company The graphic designers & developers are amazing and very helpful I like the area it's in

Cons

-Direction from management is vague, no matter how many questions you may ask, and often ends up with someone being yelled at and accused of "not taking decent enough notes" -Underpaid - this is for the amount of time and energy employees are expected to spend on each project. There were often times I would stay well after 7PM and basically work for free - as overtime payment is non existent (Isn't this illegal?) -There is absolutely no training when introduced into your new position. I had mentioned in my interview that I had no experience in graphic design, yet was expected to teach myself Photoshop & Illustrator. Thankful for the graphic designers that took time out of their own projects to teach me bits and pieces. -The person before me had already left & I was given a huge stack of unorganized marketing folders, proposals, & previous projects. Again, no training or organization. -Resources aren't capable of handling the amount of work put on your plate - extremely slow and would often restart while in the middle of a project. -Unhealthy environment -Management constantly bickering with each other and putting fault on other employees. -They prey on young adults that are new to the workforce not knowing what to expect. -Opinions and concerns of employees are often overlooked. -Understaffed - let's just say I was the only person in the marketing department and deadlines are unrealistic with the amount of work given to one person. -If you're looking for an opportunity to grow within a company then look elsewhere - raises are rare and hard to find - even if you've been with the company since the start.

Pros

- Occasional Happy Hour with co-workers - Great Location - Loved the Design team & Developers (What's left of them)

Cons

- The pay is joke! They will try talking you into lower pay by saying you will learn so much and make is seem like this position is so desirable (Don't fall for it). They under pay everyone and tried getting away with not paying over time to their employees for months They have fired people and didn't pay them commission on deals they closed and earned. - The health benefits are horrible - Management is dysfunctional, they yell and argue constantly. There is no loyalty here and they will dispose of anyone. They also like to throw each other under the bus behind each others backs (Owner & CFO) - Overwork employees - The owner "Doug" talks down to everyone and treats them like they are stupid. - Can't meet deadlines cause they don't have enough help - Toxic environment that starts with the management If you are considering working here, my advice is don't waste your time! You'd be happier some where else.

Pros

Company has a vision but does not have the resources, money nor the management skills to get there. Excellent design team and great developers!

Cons

- Under staffed. Works employees after hours and on weekends consistently. - Sells products they don't have and scrambles to build what was sold - consistently misses deadlines due to lack of recourses, poor management, poor process in place and over promising products and timelines to customers. - management points fingers to the employees and does not take any blame - over works ALL employees and expects them to work around the clock and on weekends. Salary employees are not compensated for their overtime in any way. - Sells BS to the employees and customers - timelines are unrealistic and management refuses to listen - management has no boundaries and will call you in the evening and weekend and micro manages every department. - customers consistently complain. Environment here is negative and stressful. - stay away from this company. It's not worth your time. - They will hire you if you are easily controlled - management is referred to as the owner of the company, Doug Ralston.
