Pros

He always pays on time.

Cons

The owner of the company has such shady tactics, there is a RICO case against him. Stephen Fairley touts himself as a marketing guru, yet doesn't even have a marketing background. His degree is in counseling. He buys fake followers for his social media accounts. He practices blackhat Google Marketing He will do anything sketchy, as long as he can get away with it. This is a person who cares more about money than ethics, in business.

Pros

Nice office space. Break room usually stocked with coffee and snacks. A cleaning crew comes every night and your trash is emptied for you -- this was nice because it eliminates fights over who should be taking out the kitchen trash. Restaurants close by for buying lunch. Awesome holiday party. Owner is an exceptional salesperson.

Cons

You never really know one day from the next if you are going to lose your job or not, because the owner treats employees differently from one to another. You could be granted monitor stands when asked for them, or you could be told you will have to buy your own. You could occupy an office space built for 2 people, or be forced to share an office space built for one, while multiple office spaces sit EMPTY for MONTHS! You are occasionally reminded this is a ‘benevolent dictatorship.” Since there is no Director or Operations Manager, the staff runs amuck. I witnessed a catty, backstabbing, and hostile office environment but the owner did not take these complaints seriously.

Pros

They provide free coffee and snacks, opportunity to develop conflict management skills

Cons

EVERYTHING. They regularly ask you to lie to clients, but then again they lie to them as well . The upper management provides no real direction, most of the employees are not qualified for the job, the few that are qualified are quick to leave once they see the place (usually in less than 6 months they leave) The level of nepotism is ridiculous, the CEO is out of touch with the company and its employees, Only upper management is heard when ideas are brought to the table despite their complete lack of expertise in the subject matter. Be aware that the upper management will be two faced in most interactions and you should just accept that you are basically just a overpaid customer service rep for contracts that can never be fulfilled. The CEO is also involved in a variety of dubious partnerships that call into question the poor excuse for a salary.
