Pros

The majority of employees are a lot of fun to work with, and if you're on the event side of the business you get to travel a lot and see the country

Cons

There are many, many cons to working at Cybis. The owner of the company is an extreme micro manager that cares far more about impressing his clients and giving the illusion that Cybis is a huge multi-million dollar company than his employees. His motto is to under promise and over deliver for the clients, and this often results in him under charging for the work. This causes a trickle down effect of extremely tight budgets, late nights, and over-stressed employees. Cybis hires a lot of young employees right out of school which allows the company to grossly underpay them. The owner expects the world from his employees, but is very quick to yell, scream, and tear down employees in front of others. In the event world, it is common for small mistakes (ones that the audience will never notice) to be made, then those mistakes to be discussed once the event is over. However, if the owner is at an event, he will jump on the com (walkie talkie) and yell at everyone in the middle of the event. This ultimately causes more mistakes because everyone is distracted by his yelling. One of the other reviews says that the owner is "neurotic" and I can't agree more. He is also very hot headed, cocky, and makes promises to his employees that he is unable to keep. While the majority of employees are generally fun to work with, the owner alone makes Cybis a terrible place to work.

Good thoughts. Please pass along www.thinkcybis.com/impress-us to extremely well-qualified candidates. Sorry your Cybis experience was so miserable but how are you doing today as a result?

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that the job ended and I got far away from this shady company and the CEO Jeff.

Cons

Don't follow standard industry practices -- no OT (even for a 12+/hour day), penalties for being even a minute late, no fully paid travel days, hotel sharing, the list goes on. Freelancers are not treated with respect. There are so many great event companies out there. Stay far away from this one!! If I could give less than one star here, I would. The CEO Jeff if just plan awful to work for.
