Pros

there are no "pros." I guess there is internet access for the people who work in the front office side maybe but thats it

Cons

To many to list because the owner doesn't understand how business works. mainly paying people nowhere near to what they are worth, or the terrible trade show presence, or no marketing at all, or ticking dealers off daily, or how the owner beats his chest constantly despite not being any good at his managing people or making decent products that don't immediately fall apart. is that enough for you or do you need more? I rest my case!

Pros

You get to build your own PC from the "spare" parts of the digital signage machines. Though morale was low, (most of) my former co-workers were great to work with.

Cons

Too many to mention, but I'll highlight the main ones. 1) Dishonest CEO. Example: He claims that his products are "Made in USA" yet he has his workers scratch the "Made in ____" off the boards he gets from other countries. 2) No sick pay or paid time off. If you do call in sick, be prepared to get roasted the following day. 3) CEO is extremely unprofessional and will verbally abuse you in front of your co-workers. Those who stay for over a year either have no where else to work or have acquired Stockholm Syndrome.

Pros

They never bounced a check off of me. There are some good sandwich shops in the area. He lets you get out at 3pm on Friday so he doesn't have to pay for a 40 hour week and so there is no chance for overtime.

Cons

Total misuse of employees. I don't know what job the previous people had but I was severely under compensated and was verbally abused on a daily basis. Myself, and all of the sales staff and marketing department, were constantly told how stupid we were and how the owner knew everything and we knew nothing at all. Imagine working for a spoiled brat who is so insecure with himself that the only way he can make himself feel better is to make you feel bad about yourself, every single day. It was mind numbing after a while. I'm 52 years old and have worked for my entire adult life and I have never seen an employer as bad as this one. Not one perk. No health or dental or anything, a kitchen are that is a shed he built on the side of the building illegally (the sink drains into the parking lot, very healthy)no sick time (but now Jerry Brown forces him to, thank Jesus), no vacation time, no personal time, no parking, limited air conditioning, no pest control (he's too cheap, and he admits it, so sad). Even the desk chairs are so beaten, and back breaking, I had to bring my own from home. No holidays unless forced by the Gov't. His WiFi is so bad he used to yell at me for streaming music over Pandora. By far the cheapest man I have ever met. No room for growth whatsoever, as a matter of fact he'll keep pushing you down so he doesn't have to pay you more money. He wants your advise until you give it and then if it's good he'll take credit for it and pretend you never mentioned it.
