Pros

Compared to what I have seen elsewhere, benefits and pay are good. Nice office area with great views. Just keep smiling and saying everything is great, and your job will probably be safe.

Cons

Company makes it a point to hire only employees with Bachelors degrees, but after hiring them, treats them like high schoolers. Employee development appears to be primarily free online videos (don't know if I would even classify them as college level). Despite a repeatedly stated desire to make it a 'best place to work' no ones wants to listen to suggestions on how to help it be so. Priorities for improvements don't make sense, or isn't communicated. We keep getting another home grown tool, or process change, thrown at us for something that has little impact. Workload unbearable at times, but don't risk mentioning it, as I'm afraid the finger will be pointed at me for not getting 60 hours of work done in 40-45 hours.

Pros

The pay and benefits are excellent. A lot of your fellow employees are young, smart, talented, and even fun to work with. The office is nice, and the technology/tools etc. are pretty up to date. Finally, working at Unlimited provided me a wealth of valuable experience and skills that helped me to secure employment elsewhere. My current employer (which is not Unlimited Systems) was blown away in the interview with how much experience and responsibility I had gained while working at Unlimited Systems, and I don’t think I would have been able to land the job that I’m in now if not for the experience that Unlimited provided for me, and that’s something that I’ll always be grateful for.

Cons

One con to get out of the way upfront. Management has openly been bribing/pressuring employees to post positive reviews on Glassdoor in order to counteract the negative reviews. This tactic has been backfiring on them lately as more and more people are mentioning it in their reviews, and it absolutely should backfire on them. If you want positive reviews, you should improve the experience of working there, not try to pressure people into pretending to like the job. As for cons of the actual job: Management is incredibly overbearing and loves to micromanage. Many of us had horror stories of being called in at weird hours in the morning, being chewed out for things that weren't our fault, etc. It could get brutal at times. Employee morale in general was atrocious. Virtually all employees hated their jobs, and the mood tended to soak into everything we did. I have never seen such low employee morale and such high employee turnover at any company in my life. I ended up leaving largely because that level of negativity at a company was just incredibly depressing. Most employees don't make it a year, and just about everyone I talked to admitted they were trying to find work somewhere, anywhere else. I know of at least one instance where an employee was offered a promotion to team lead, and decided to leave for a position at another company anyways because they just couldn’t take it. When your employees would rather leave than be promoted, you know you’re doing something wrong. It's a family company. Upper management consists of the four brothers who run the company. If you are not one of them, you will not be upper management, that's just how it is. There is a serious ceiling on how high you can rise in the company, so if you have real career ambition, it is difficult to justify staying there long term (and based on my experience, very few people do).

Pros

It pays well. There are some people who work there who are genuinely talented, cool, and fun to hang out with.

Cons

Much has been said on this website, and much of it is accurate. I don't want to write a long review re-hashing all of that, but I do want to call attention to the validity of some of the other reviews here on Glassdoor. The assertion of the review submitted on 10/31/2014 ("Don't believe the positive reviews - IT'S A SCAM!") is accurate; I personally have talked to a few team leads who stated that they had been pushed by upper management to write a positive review on this site. While I believe that the "Pros" section in their reviews was largely genuine, I am strongly inclined to think that their incentive was to pull punches in the "Cons" section and in the overall company rating. I can also see one or two reviews that look fake to me, but I couldn't prove it. If you take away these reviews, then Unlimited Systems would come out with a much lower overall rating than it currently has (2.5/5). Do you really want to work for a company that has to cheat on its Glassdoor reviews?
