Pros

I can't really think of one besides the Sarasota area.

Cons

Where to start, - Owner is a crook who uses borderline illegal practices with his employees. He takes advantage of employees who come from out of the country by promising to get them a visa and holding that over their heads even paying them absolutely nothing for it. They are verbally abusive to their employees treating them like children and treating them like they are absolutely replaceable. - The owners don't even pay through the government, they consider everyone an intern despite skill and work experience and pays them hourly with personal checks they oftentimes print out right there. The owner even justifies it by saying "its better because its not taxed by the government" and then starts suggesting to list items to deduct from taxes. This makes me and other employees I've talked to feel uncomfortable. - Theres no way to rise up in this company. They will make you do so many different tasks with nothing in the way of increased pay or promotion. - This place is run by a amateurs who claim to run a tech company. Theres no plan, no deadlines, no milestones and no cohesive work flow. The owner just constantly rushes up to his employees demanding them to add new features he came up with without necessarily thinking it out. He wants to look like he is incredibly knowledgeable about everything to others in and outside of the office but in reality he has no clue about anything he's talking about. - They constantly fire people all the time or people don't stay long once they realize they are being taken advantage of. I've seen so many new waves of employees come in to replace the old ones. No one is happy working there and because of the abusive employers, they don't respect them or want to work to make a good app. - They're also very combative, you criticize them or express an opposing viewpoint and they will hunt you down with their lawyer's numbers ready. Going so far as to hunt down the IP numbers of users in the app posting images they don't like.

Pros

No, I cannot see any. If there is, I guess the location

Cons

Greedy owner. Very dishonest, if they knew you are foreigner, they will try everything to take advantage of you. The techniques used in this company is way too much outdated. Still using 3dmax for product modeling, Vray rendering? Keyshot is awesome, the rest of the world are using keyshot and they still use skills that are consider old. They don't know what design really is. Here you cannot have chance to experience the great project. Think about it, who will come to theirs, to have awesome project. With 8 USD/hour, do you think you really have the passion for work? Show some respect to your employee. Nobody stay long, why the salary barely support your life and there's no growth for you ahead. That's the only option you have. Or I guess they knew it so that they don't care.
