Pros

- Some of the managers are nice and helpful - Some of the employees are also nice and helpful - Great place to gain experience right out of college

Cons

- The compensation is absolutely horrible, and not competitive in the industry (Do your research before committing) - It's like high school, there's lots of back stabbing and gossip - very toxic environment - Largely composed of recent college graduates, or people who are too comfortable to leave - CEO doesn't care about the employees, therefore retention is horrible. They would rather have people quit then give them a raise. This is why when people get advanced degrees or gain some experience they leave the company. - Lots of turn over in all departments, which makes getting you job done difficult. There's always someone new who doesn't know what they are doing. - Many of the people in management position aren't qualified. They have either been there forever, or are related to the CEO. - The benefits are a joke when compared to other companies. - Hardly any room for growth and career advancement. - The CEO doesn't show his face, unless it's to yell about something he isn't happy with.

Pros

Leaving this place alive maybe the best thing can happen to you here!

Cons

It is the most toxic place I ever seen in my entire career. They will destroy your mental health and well being. The system supports and encourage toxicity and dishonesty and punish integrity.
