Pros
There are lots of opportunity here if you are willing to try and learn. I started working at Etekcity as an intern and eventually moved to a part-time position. When I graduated from college, I was offered a full-time position. It wasn’t an easy, smooth and spoon-fed journey; I was challenged again and again, but for me, it was fun, and I went through it more for personal growth than anything else. I made lots of mistakes along the way, but quickly learned from them. I’ve seen the company grow, and even though it is not mine, it still makes me proud. The best part about working here is that my voice and hard work are recognized by my direct manager and supervisor. It’s just like Samuel Goldwyn said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get," and that is 100% true for me. My coworkers are friendly, fun, and weird. I can even considered them as friends. In addition, there are no politics here and I don’t have to kiss an A to move up. Through my experience, I believe the company and my coworkers value positive energy and attitude and teamwork. We love good vibes every Monday morning. There’s not a complaint about how awful the weekends have been (unless someone ask) nor how much they hate the world. We have coffee makers, tons of snacks and breakfast almost every Monday, ie. bagels, donuts, or pastries. Those are definitely a win for me because I never have to worry about working on an empty stomach. They also recently hired an awesome COO who used to work for HP, Kodak, & Razer and an official HR Manager that works hard to provide us with awesome health, dental, and vision benefits options! I feel like the company has a bright and challenging journey ahead of them, and I am so excited to contribute my talent to that journey.
Cons
In the past, there were lots of cons, like no benefits and pitiful salary offer, but moving forward, the only thing that I can think of right now is probably the small work space (desk) and rooms. We need more rooms and a studio space for the creative team. Their studio looks like a garage sale for photo and video equipments. Product development team also needs their own space as well.
