Pros

OK place for someone just starting out. Free lunch once a month. Year end bonus. 4 sick days per year. Free coffee. Somewhat laid back atmosphere. Most holidays off.

Cons

Low salary, if you get a "raise" it will likely be $1, or $1.50 if you get promoted. Apparently they are thinking of moving to a 2% per year raise, which would be less than $1 given their low salaries. No benefits at all. No health care. No retirement savings. If you try to talk about health care you'll just get vague answers until you're past the 30 day sign up window. Management always wants more. You gave it 110%? Why couldn't you give 120%? Poor communication. "We know you were never told to do this, but why didn't you do this?" Unreasonable expectations. Every position is listed as entry level even if it's not. No recognition for increased job responsibility. Only 3 vacation (or personal, whatever you want to call them) days given for your first year. Upper management complains that people don't want to work holidays.

Pros

You're able to work remotely.

Cons

Clueless management and higher-ups who don't respect each other or their teammates. When hired, you are told you will receive your full benefits after 90 days. Once you ask about benefits, you will never get a straight answer. I never received my benefits as promised; after 90 days, I was given the run-around. HR was clueless, and unethical practices and favoritism are shown only if you are friends with management. They don't like you to ask questions. Just shut up. Keep your head down is what they want. They hire you as one thing, and you end up not doing the job you're employed for; the only training you will receive in the beginning is reading Word documents that are not correct. You have to bring the error to their attention. This list goes on.
