Pros

There is absolutely nothing positive about this company.

Cons

Briefly - The place should be investigated. The only positive review for this company on Glassdoor was done by the son of one of the owners. Consider the source. Employees are motivated by yelling, screaming, swearing and intimidation. One star is far too high of a rating for this company. The worst job and company I have ever worked for in my career. A very unhealthy place to work. Not uncommon for employees to go to lunch and never come back. Employees frequently break down and cry at their desks. Management rarely shows up to work before noon. Unprofessional and inappropriate work environment often is acknowledged and laughed about by management. Very high demands and expectations at very low pay. Excessive amount of support work often because of very bad application design. No career development. High turn-over rate because of confrontational management – employee relations. No Human Resources Department. Frequently sued by past employees. Extremely high stress job. All employees are bullied by management. Will not be surprised when there is a workplace shooting or altercation. The management has been acting this way for a very long time and change is not possible. Very toxic. No loyalty to employees. Off hours and weekend support is excessive and compensated very poorly. You will never be thanked by management for a job well done. Forced to use own personal computer equipment and cellular phone to provide off-hour supports for the company. Sexist, racist and homophobic jokes and discussions happen frequently during the workday. Management frequently discusses employee performance when other employees are present. Not unusual for management to participate in rumors and jokes about employees. Constant customer upgrading because of bad testing. My unemployment benefits or compensation were contested by the company. Be prepared for a very heated interaction when mistakes are made. Training manuals, procedures and videos are often incorrect and outdated. Supporting this product is overwhelming due to inferior design and bad code. Accept a position at this company and you will be sorry.

Pros

Fun people Challenging work Growth opportunities Good location Management is very passionate. If you do good work, you will be well rewarded and appreciated. Very good health insurance options 401k Understanding management

Cons

If you are used to a more corporate feel, this may be different for you. This is small business family-owned and a very tight-knit team. (Can't fly under the radar)

Pros

The only pro to working for this company was getting a paycheck.

Cons

Management is EXTREMELY unprofessional. Yelling is heard on a daily basis despite doors being closed, training is virtually non-existent, the pressure to perform is high and if you falter in any way, you are chastised and ridiculed in front of everyone in Friday morning's team meeting. Employees are bullied by management throughout the workday and micro-managed to the point that causes mistakes to be made simply because you are ridden viciously to do this one way by one manager and another way be another manager and no one is ever on the same page. Management brings their personal problems to the office and the employees pay for it. Employees are not paid what they're worth and the thought of getting any praise or a raise for years of service is unheard of here. Profanity and unprofessional talk is the way these people communicate so culture shock is inevitable if you are coming from any form of a professional environment where courtesy and respect is a requirement. The turnover here is worse than a fast food restaurant, and if you're not a good friend or family member to management, your chance of survival here is short-lived. If it was possible to award this company zero stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for employment.
