Not a company that values their workers

Pros

flexible schedule and office location.

Cons

Tiny desks and work spaces if you're not management. Literally can't get your legs under your desk if you're taller than 6'0", and there's no room to store your stuff. Also, there's no cubicles, just open space -- so if you're disabled (like me) it's very uncomfortable, and very noisy, and very distracting. Perks like coffee, forks, knives, etc -- nonexistant. There is a constant sense that they will nickle and dime everything so as to save a buck. I have never worked somewhere that values their employees (especially their contractors) worse than they do here. They tend to hire most people as contractors in an attempt at getting around benefits. Don't fall for this. You get a tiny desk space, none of the benefits. For instance, training on using meeting spaces is only available to employees. If you want to use the gym, you have to be an employee. If you want to take a yoga class -- that will cost you far more than any local class in the area. It's pretty bad, and there are hundreds of more examples.

Pros

Good hours. 40hrs a week. 5am-2pm. Some employees are nice, but some are snobby. I like how they have direct deposit.

Cons

When they lay you off they make an excuse that there is less work, but the real reason is that they do not like you. I feel like they scam old people.

Pros

The people are nice, it is very laid back.

Cons

This organization hires contractors and rather than investing time in developing any areas they may be lacking, they just have a revolving door. This is not a good use of membership funds, bringing people on and training them and then letting them go. I was escorted out of the building with no feedback or reason given and I was the fifth person in my department this happened to in my 7 months there.
