Pros

None. Nada. Zilch. Zippo. Goose egg. Diddly squat. Zero. Seriously - run, run long, run hard. Just run away from this place.

Cons

Everything. Where do I begin? Culture: Negativity & hostility A negative culture is not only the way of life but sadly, it is encouraged. There is absolutely no teamwork whatsoever and you can expect that the entire company will know within seconds of you making a mistake. I haven't seen so many cliques and so much immaturity since high school. Name calling, finger pointing and harassment are all part of a typical work day. I believe that one person in particular must have some sort of blackmail on someone because no other employer would allow his behavior. Training - Non-existent Expect to learn everything by osmosis and in record time. Written policies and procedures are extremely rare and, if found, are likely outdated. Think you can get help from coworkers? Probably not. Even in the unlikely event that you find someone willing to help, their workload will prevent that. You are set up to fail from the day you start and the vultures start circling just waiting for your demise. Dress Code: Come as you are... literally Whatever you roll out of bed in is completely acceptable. Seriously, don't go buy new clothes - or even bathe. Ripped jeans, band t-shirts, sweatpants, tank tops - anything stained or dirty. Honestly, anything goes. Personal hygiene? Who cares! This company wouldn't recognize professionalism if it smacked them in the face. Drug Tests: That's just silly talk Work Environment: Nasty old building You will be embarrassed to tell your friends where you work. Let alone bringing important business clients by. "Management": note the quotes Middle managers are not allowed to actually manage their teams and "senior management" spends more time drinking tall ones & gossiping about other employees at the local watering hole on their lunch break than worrying about any of the above issues. CEO: Anti-social Hermit Rarely emerges from his office and, when he does, expect him to look in the other direction rather than saying hello. Couldn't care less about any of the above issues. Compensation: Varies wildly for the same title It's all in who you know - not what you know. After being there for one year, you will receive a bonus in the form of a $15.00 check. Said check will be taxed as a bonus so you can expect to take home between $7.00 - $8.00. I would advise you to invest rather than spending it all in one place.

Pros

Hard to say. Maybe a decent vision for the future.

Cons

Although there's a decent vision of the future. The key players of the organization are not willing to listen to any opportunities for improvement related to operations, support or customer service. Products and services have quality issues that create an impossible situation to take care of the customer. Sell it and forget it, build it and forget it mentality. So cash constrained that they can do anything to pivot their business model. Senior management has their head in the sand and will not listen to suggestions that would dramatically improve their ability to provide products and services that work as sold. Support team is tired and burned out due to listening to customers complain, often rudely, that they are very disappointed with what they were sold.
