Pros

good people to work with

Cons

no professional environment, if you "don't belong" to the "VP's" group you will get blame no matter what you do, because it's easy money for VP's (~200K) and they keep changing people. VP's have no clue (friend of a friend type of hiring), no professional at all, Stay away from mid manager opportunities because you will get blame. Lower position are ok, no grow opportunity.

Pros

Not a sweat shop, decent pay

Cons

Absentee owner who lets the COO rule the company like a kingdom. Continue to employ mediocre execs that have caused several people to resign, some positions more than once. Depressing office, bad neighborhood. 70% of sales dedicated to one customer, never a good plan. No idea how they are still in business.
