Pros

The Product.... though recently even a love for the product is hard to have due to upper management's policies, behavior, and the environment they have cultivated.

Cons

To start, the only positive reviews that have come in recently are either fake or incentivized. HR will pretend otherwise, but incentives come in two forms. Sticks and Carrots. Both are being used to manipulate the Glass Door reviews. The reviews may look like things are on the mend, but that is definitely not the case. Nobody is happy. Most employees are looking for new jobs. Those that aren't looking for new opportunities have lost hope in finding something new (especially in the wake of covid-19). Many reviewers have mentioned the Chief Visionary Officer, Brent, as the root of the problem. The CVO is rude, inappropriate, manipulative, and your worst nightmare in every way. But it goes beyond the CVO. The entire executive team conforms to the will of the CVO. Most members of the executive team have plenty to say about how they don't agree with the CVO behind closed doors, but none are willing to hold him accountable when it matters. All are terrified of the CVO's ability to villainize anyone who speaks out against him for any reason (be on matters of ethical behavior or day-to-day business decisions). If the executives were actually fed up with the CVO, and were as good hearted as they want their subordinates to believe, they would do something about it as a group. But unfortunately, they all choose to stick their heads in the sand, feigning ignorance whenever the CVO engages in his unethical power struggles.

Pros

Nothing maybe a paycheck every couple weeks.

Cons

They don't listen. Need a dust collection system before they blow the place up and kill everybody. They are to cheap to buy something like that cause it cost money. They put money over employees health and safety. There is no work life balance. All work no play. If you are a yes man then you will make it. If you are in your early 30s you will get lots of rasies.
