Pros

A smaller company with a flexible work schedule in terms of start and end times. Composed of multiple small offices where you know every employee. The company provides a competitive benefits package.

Cons

It is a smaller office, and yet there is a lack of proper communication between departments, specifically the Management and Design teams. There is limited room for growth and they will find one task that you are good at and limit you to that task, as they don't like to spend resources on educating personnel. They expect you to be prior trained, or to learn the required skills on your own time at your own expense. Hard work is not respected and if you wish to advance you do so by "socializing" with the correct people. Hard work alone will not be acknowledged or adequately compensated. There is also a lack of proper HR, and a real problem with office gossip. If you have an issue with a Manager and/or Co-worker saying demeaning remarks and/or gossiping/ spreading rumors, there are no means of recourse. If you bring such issues to Management, they will do nothing about the situation. Ultimately, I would suggest staying away from this company. Although if you need experience to pad your resume straight out of school this company will suffice, they will hire anyone. Just be sure that you don't stay too long as I did, as it will cause you to burn out.
