Pros

Coworkers, free bagels, free coffee/tea

Cons

Exactly what everyone else has said. Save yourself. There is no work life balance - you can be "asked" to stay until 6-7 at night same day after being expected to be there at 7 AM with no/minimal lunch break. The managers and leadership is a joke - whether it is a manager who plays ping pong all day long, or the manager who has the reputation as the Grim Reaper since half of his team left in 2 months due to his behavior, to senior management that turns a blind eye. With an average product that is severely over priced and arbitrarily assigned territories, the fear of being fired is rampant and not even necessarily uncalled for. Retention is non-existent. No one is happy and even the "top producers" are job hunting.

Pros

Free Stuff, payday happy hour, nice coworkers, good location, variety of expertise, willing to hire new college grads, new home base/headquarters so everyone needed is in one building.

Cons

Bad management, use of fear as motivation, ethicality isn't an issue as long as sales are where they need to be, very few people working here care about anything besides money. Bad employee treatment. People are quitting/being fired and dropping like flies. Really bad retention rate. There is now a rule that you owe the company several thousand dollars if you want to quit within a year (goes so show how few people stick around). Beware.

House of Cards.

Pros

Free soft drinks, ice cream and smoothies. Bean bag chairs. Color coded floors (kind of like in Transformers 3).

Cons

The company is being groomed to sell. Every major decision is not being made in the best interest of the company, or the customer or the employee but in the appearance to any kind of potential outside buyer. They are building a house of cards that looks good on the exterior but is rotten to the core and looking to find anyone dumb enough to take the bait. And I'm sure they'll find someone. And I'm sure all the executives will get a big bonus and move on to ruin another company.
