Pros
Pay, opportunities to learn and grow, people
Cons
nothing that i can think of
Pros
Annual/quarterly bonus and annual cost-of-living raise is a nice perk. The employees try hard to make the best of the workday and mostly work well together.
Cons
Extremely high employee turnover. Benefits leave more to be desired. Honesty and integrity fall second to cost and time savings. Corners are cut as often as possible regardless of how quality is affected. Company communication is awful. Business critical communications are poorly documented and frequently lost or ignored. The company fosters an environment of backbiting. Top management talks negatively about employees and makes fun of them behind their backs to other employees. Inappropriate jokes and comments are made regularly by top management, and it is to top management that those types of things should be reported, creating an environment where employees are uncomfortable reporting issues. Very limited opportunities for employee growth or development. No defined pay structure or position levels. Salary seems to be based on how top management felt on a particular day when salary was being discussed. Top management struggles to trust the employees to do their jobs and frequently micromanages and disrupts employee workflow. Money is not reinvested back into the company. Corporate equipment is obsolete and over-mended.
Pros
The only pro that I had while working there were the people that I got to work with on a daily basis. We had fun with each other and made it tolerable most days.
Cons
There is no clear direction on which way the company is going. Turnover happens almost monthly it seems, and there is a reason why that is happening. The pay is nowhere near industry average, and the owner prides himself on getting people on the cheap. There were no benefits while I was there, and for a person with a family to support this is not the job for you. There is no room for career growth, as I was told when I was interviewed. The company did not grow my entire time there, in fact it got smaller due to the amount of turnover. There is no HR department, so be prepared for some off color remarks and inappropriate comments.
