Pros

Competitive salary. Excellent location. There are some quality people here, but all are looking for new employment.

Cons

This is far from a legitimate company that teeters on the edge of being defunct. No structure, no career-pathing, no set priorities or policies, no professionalism, no business model... The list goes on and on, as this place is a free-for-all, steered by the ever-changing whims of an incapable and hypocritical management team. Run as far away as you can!

Pros

A great place to work if you are self-driven/motivated. The size of the organization and receptivity to ideas, thoughts and suggestions on how to build the business are key positive attributes.

Cons

You need to have an entrepreneurial spirit with a thirst to learn and grow in order to be successful.

Pros

The majority of the people who work here are great. Since it's such a small company (less than 50 people) you get to know your co-workers well and they become like a second family.

Cons

One of the Directors manages by instilling fear, which tends to pervade the work environment at times. The President seems not to involve himself with the daily operations of the company and allows a lot to go on that he may/may not even be aware of. There is a general lack of accountability and a lot of favoritism when it comes to special arrangements, such as special work hours and the ability (or not) to work from home. Upper management tends to base recognition, raises and promotions on their personal perception of you, versus reality. There is very little in the way of career path development. Reviews/promotions/raises are spotty at best. Since there is no real Board of Directors, and since the company is private, there is very little accountability and reinforcement to ensure that all employees are treated equally and fairly. Wages are not competitive within the industry.
