Pros

Salary: They give you one, but on the low end of market Benefits: Some small health benefits. Better than nothing. Minimum 401K. Culture: Read the reviews to get an opinion Drinks: They serve alcohol on Friday afternoons to a select few and favorites after office hours. Break room: TVs in the employee break room locked into ESPN channel ( if you can take a break), Hunks: Gun culture all around. Lots of wannabbe hunks. Perks: You get to drive a European designed van- Ford Transit for free during travels (Pope mobile) People: Good in some cases but there are plenty of ex-military men in this show. Drug Test: None! Just amazing? Lunch Break: Yes Bathroom break Yes. Smoking Break: Write a new resume. Hours: Strictly an 8-5 company. Overtime: Only for the techs

Cons

This has become bad. I believe the HR manager has been tapping into Glassdoor and writing reviews just to get new employees hired. Or, he may have asked current employees to get in and just add something nice to say so they can get people to interview. Everyone, please read all reviews first , the long reviews were done with passion and good thoughts. Reviews of a few sentences were just artificially made up as a marketing plan for the unemployed workforce to attract them into Laser Shot. Salary: on the low end of market Benefits: Bottom of the barrel to attract the unemployed to come in. Bonuses: None Education Reimbursement: None Culture: Fear and intimidation from the COO. Restrooms: This area will tell you the best story of how the owners think of their employees. Break room: Small but it has a TV Surrounding Area: Stafford area sucks in traffic and places to eat. Their office is in Stafford a suburb of Houston. Warehouse: Super hot in the summer. Owners want the thermostat set at 77 F to save money. Furniture: Old chairs, old desks, etc. due to lack of funds. No capital outlay Computer systems: No working ERP system in place except for Excel, MS Word, Power Point. they use QuickBooks! Janitorial Service: Only once a week for the HQ office but one employee will empty out the trash daily. That is it. Company Values: Just make money who cares for the employees or customers. 10m Breaks and smoking breaks: None. It is listed in the handbook. Get caught you are out. COO: "Run! .. Forest.. Run!: , as one former employee said below. Parking: Be prepared to park in a dirt lot if the regular parking is filled. Buy new shoes Office Privacy: None, cubicles at most or open area. There are only 8 rooms w/ doors all reserved for VPs, Directors, and the two owners. Good Accounting People: They did not have a CFO for whole year. Some accounting is done with a private consultant. Wow! Materials Dept.: No stock, no inventory at times as they are late in paying., Never saw so many vendors upset. Personal Advancement: Slow to none Hiring: Hire fast and fire faster. Future: Dependent on outlook of Federal Defense expenses Happiness: What is that word in Laser Shot?

Pros

The people are great, and that is about it....You will be sorry and will be coming back here to write your own horror stories if you work at this company. Some more recent reviews praise the company but come on, who are you fooling a couple of these reviews sound like they just copied off the mission statement to make them sound good. What all these one and two star reviews are just disgruntled employees....give me a break. If you are reading this take note, you think this company turned itself around in the last four weeks, two current employees giving great reviews one day apart. Take note because this is how the company will treat you, by lying and telling you story after story...they tell so many stories they should be a children's book publisher. There is nothing I can say more that hasn't been summed up by every other low star review on this site. I can assure you the owners are clueless and will fire you and bad mouth you as you walk out the door because in their eyes they can do no wrong, it must be some other person that screwed up....never them.

Cons

The list of cons is so massive I may crash this website, here is a list of how things will go for you at this company if you take a job here....in about this order: - You will have an interview and will be excited at first until they offer you 50% less than the low end of the market - They will promise a raise in 90 days if you do good and then a raise at 1 year. This is to get you to take the job - After you sign on you will soon realise you may of made a mistake - Throughout your 90 days you will be chewed out and embarrassed by the owners in front of other employees - You will be micro-managed constantly - You ideas and creative thinking will be stifled - If you make it to your 90-day review, your performance review wont happen for weeks later if at all. If you do get your review you more than likely wont get a raise - Since your review was late you will probably be close to your 1 yr review which again will be very late. Some employees have waited 2 years for a review - If you continue employment, the stress, lies, micro-managing, and constant rule changes will slowly break you. - You will never make at or above market value for your skills. - You will be looked at as an expense, not an asset. They will gladly fire you to get someone cheaper. - You will loose your passion and drive, you will hate you job - You eventually will quit or get fired and will end up taking a job outside your talents. You will take any other job just to get away from them and slowly you will be working some crap job just to provide for you and your family. But it will be worth it just to be as far away from them as possible. - You will write a review at Glass Door You have been warned.

Pros

Actually, absolutely, none. Please stay away from this company. You've been warned.

Cons

Company is full of "yes-men" and fortunately for them, reviews don't have negative scoring. Everyone is afraid of loosing their job because of unreasonable COO (Alan), who has no control on his temper and would disrespect everyone no matter who it is. Company even got several letters from prospective clients explaining his rude behavior. They will make excuses to cover their unlawful acts, discrimination, favoritism, disorganization, last minute running around, changing stuff, trying to copy someone's idea / product and blame you without appreciating how good job you do. They lack technology, no MIS / ERP system in place and it's completely chaos. And yes, they still use Excel for everything, complete joke. All their games are from 80s and 90s which even developers & R&D head is ashamed of, seriously Nintendo Wii has better games than they do. None of their "custom" function more than couple hours They're ready to go under any day. I waisted my year.
