Pros

People generally take their work seriously which means you can expect work to be finished, and deadlines to be met. The benefits are fairly generous. The owners care a lot about the health of the company which translates into a stable job as long as you’re productive; strong job security.

Cons

Sometimes workload is extreme. Leaving early when work is finished for the day is heavily frowned on. Sometimes you cannot take time off if you’re sick because of the heavy workload. Quarterly bonuses used to justify lower base pay. Certain departments are reluctant to hire additional people to spread workload.

Pros

Good benefits if you can get hired. Best way to get hired is if you know someone, like a boss, personally.

Cons

I was hired on temporarily - was told that it could lead to something permanent. Everyone was friendly at first and kept telling me what a great job I was doing. Later, when the critical stage of my project was completed I noticed I was no longer being given a chance to continue learning how to perform other daily tasks that I had requested to be taught, and told previously that I would have a chance with. I wanted to find better ways to integrate myself within the department by expanding beyond the duties I was initially hired for in hopes of being hired permanently. But soon I realized they had no intention of letting me grow (this meant they would have to pay me more). Total politics and mind games, I was finally let go. But I'm not the only one - good workers let go meanwhile people with little experience and who are lazy get hired just because they know someone. Never again - WORST PLACE I'VE EVER WORKED IN.
