Pros

Fantastic Facility. It's new and clean and modern.

Cons

My first week in 3 people were let go. They contract an HR person so people are typically only let go on Wednesday, a day which we nicknamed reaping day. Everything was on a whim. "The company has decided to go in a different direction" is their favorite line. They cut you randomly and offer no severance and no notice, it was completely out of nowhere with no indication anything was wrong. Workload is not equal and you will absolutely get in trouble for asking for additional work if your day is light; something I have never experienced at any other job. Benefits are laughable. Really terrible Healthcare, Dental and Vision, the company covers maybe 5% total even if you're salary! Never saw a 401K or any other retirement package even after 6 months, no profit sharing, bonus or stock option. Gossip is RAMPANT! There is definitely a clique. Very negative atmosphere and totally avoidable.

Pros

I can't think of a single one, hmm

Cons

Benefits suck Backstabbers Cheaply ran, they tell you what they want, phones as an example, you give them bids and they turn down everyone sighting some stupid reason. "we're trying to save money" well you've been 'saving for years' when are you gonna spend? Google workspace platform - not because it's better, but it's cheaper Employees who need things to work, such as Adobe are given a cheaper, inferior product to use instead...and this is on everything. Let's not use Office, lets use something else, it costs too much You're a small friggin company with $$$ to spend, get products people can use efficiently, not have to relearn everything Can't keep an IT team together, they lose a guy of 22yrs, must have been a constant headache for this guy band aiding stuff together instead of just fixing it right cuz that's all the $$ they'll allow. They fired a guy for missing a meeting...while he was on vacation and didn't know about it, not hearsay, and this is who you'll work for Honestly, there has to be only 1 reason people stay...tough times now to go lookin for another job.
