Pros

Sorry do not have much in the Pros category but will say this Management is good during the interview process of making you believe there is a place for you within the organization but soon you find out it is all smoke and mirrors once your hired. Much like a shady car dealer who leads you to believe your getting a good deal when your not. Also does not matter how hard you work or how much initiative or new ideas you bring to the table, they do not care.

Cons

I read a few suspicious positive reviews that are popping up here, obviously management or their cronies at work; most if not all of the negative comments carry plenty of weight from my time with the company so I will not repeat but will say this; There is lack of professionalism within the company, your treated like a mushroom and employees that have been with the company a long time or a number of years are not very open in briefing you on procedures, not that any exist. Found many of the staff to be disrespectful, lacking a open mind, and not caring about the level of experience you bring and as someone said fang shei is really not happening at the cynical world of Syneo. Too much micromanaging, I found the old ceo DW to be self-absorbed and set in his ways and lacking leadership skills, not sure on the new ceo does not look like he has the right experience to right the ship and none of the old management from texas or florida has changed surely he will run into plenty of brick walls with the old blood. Main Street Capital must have ordered a replacement to turn the company around. Seems the company has plenty of capital to spend on building a new building, hiring new 6 fig salary staff but burnt a lot of people over the years since the old pre Tyco ASG days, old stale guard still seems to be intact thanks in part to the crony system in place. Originally thought the work would be a brain teaser; but it was quite boring and mundane and managements attitude towards thinking out of the box was not happening, it was their way or the highway. Had a great idea, forget about it as it would be shot down faster than a new york minute.

Pros

There always has been, and seems there will always be an open door policy to voice questions, comments or concerns to every level of management. The CEO, John Solheim welcomes walk-in's to discuss problems and ideas for solutions. The company is dynamic and growing, and is an excellent place to begin one's career or to join if you want to make an impact. At this small company, there is no place to hide in the shadows of monotony or behind others accomplishments. However, if you work hard, have a desire to make an impact and shine - the opportunities you can create for yourself are limitless. If you have a problem or want to see a change - you can be, and NEED to be, part of the solution.

Cons

There is an absolute sense of urgency to execute, which can lead to heightened anxieties company wide. This can be taxing on the team, but it should be understood that this is due to a company that is growing and still trying to find its place in multiple industries all the while trying to find the right people for the job.
