Pros

You get to learn the hard way ... some people like that

Cons

Paychecks were frequently late, sometimes they were a few days late, sometimes they were a few weeks late. In either case I received no advanced warning and was expected to maintain high productivity levels with little or no explanation for the cause of the delay. I felt I was lied to on several occasions by the CEO and many of his assistants. Salary is typically well below market. Vacation is discouraged. There is little room for work life balance, 10 hour work day is the minimum expectation, with regular on call duties and frequent need to stay late. Benefits are weak, you get health and a few days vacation. No stock options, no savings, no vision, no dental. The general attitude when I asked for more was that I wasn't being a team player. There's no process for professional review, opportunities for advancement are random and seldom occur.

Pros

Comfortable office with new and clean supplies, computers, etc. The employees are very warm and accommodating of you.

Cons

Management seems to have no idea what they want. From day one, you are thrown into the meat grinder. The only sort of training is a series of long videos of meetings on how the program functions and what you can do with it. The executives give out new titles,which are virtually meaningless, along with more responsibilities with incredible expectations that when not met, are punished. This is the primary reason some of the more senior employees have only been there for about a year. Some people filter in an out so quickly there is barely a dent in their seat. The primary issue is the lack of HR. The employee manual advises that when no HR representative is available, most of the past few years, you should feel free and comfortable to speak to the executives about any problem you may have with anything. When attempting to exercise this, you are likely to be told to speak to someone else or your attempt may be lost in the vortex of emails and instant messaging. Because of this, there is a feeling that you have little to no job safety. Nepotism plays a large role here, most of any place i have ever worked. The CEO's seemingly clueless wife appears and takes charge of projects she doesn't belong in. His family runs amok around the office, some employed, some just appear. Overall there is a constant feeling that you have not given enough to the company despite how much each person gives.
