Pros

- Friendly colleagues - The occasional excellent bake sale

Cons

- Out of touch, aggressive management who can't take criticism, are slow to make changes, and don't care about their employees on a human level - No sick pay and very little compassionate leave - No reward or recognition (financial or otherwise) for hard work, and little opportunity for promotion - Extremely low starting salaries whenever they can get away with it - Roadblocks and a lack of resources to any positive changes you suggest - Terrible culture where you are expected to give your all and then be grateful for the occasional free pizza lunch - Petty cliques and an exceptionally high turn over. 35 people left in the year i was there, some people got grand send offs, most were passive aggressively shunted, and the company at large was not told where they went or that they were going - The management talk to you like they're reading out of a management book about how to manipulate people - Minimum holiday days - An absolute inability to take feedback on any or all of the above without being threatened with dismissal or told you're the problem, not the company
