Pros

Paycheck, training, fast growing, networking, talented employees.

Cons

MY OPINION: The office culture here is the strangest in my experience and opinion. It is like a frat house. Exec. management takes shots of liquor at events with staff and cheers. I personally prefer a more professional environment and mature/refined mentality. One of respect and dignity for hard work and accomplishments. There will always be politics in offices with people but the politics here are very hard to understand. It is like you are "cool" or not in my opinion. I feel that in order to be cool you have to take shots of liquor at events or drink beer in the office with management; my religion and values prohibit this. I personally feel my hard work and dedication is not appreciated nor is it as important as who I am friends with at the company. Situations have occurred where employees did not treat each other respectfully, professionally nor with appropriate behavior and it was tolerated because of who they are friends with. I've never witnessed anything like this before and I am not new to corporate America. I think the difference here is what is tolerated. In addition, what I thought I was getting when I started working here, I did not. Things took place that I should have been advised of in advance before turning down other opportunities.
