      Pros

      Stock payouts Good Insurance Raises until you max out in 3 years... @ $16/hr. Challenges every day. Good experience managing large number of associates.

      Cons

      ZERO work life balance. When requesting time off, I get dirty looks from my managers. Almost no communications between tier 3's and management Almost no recognition from superiors. I find myself training managers who are supposed to be developing me.

      Pros

      Fast moving, innovative, numbers driven approach to solving all issues with a customer centric focus. There is enough freedom within the company to try new things and you are allowed to run with ideas by the management. You are also allowed to take on responsibilities as you progress.

      Cons

      The fast pace of change comes with the need the there has to be an extra effort out to keep pace with updates in the company.

      Pros

      Smart people. Fast paced. Amazing problems to solve. Huge business opportunities to pursue. Big jobs. Great experience. Made me better.

      Cons

      Philosophy of getting the most out of people and paying them as little as possible. Survival of the fittest with no focus on people development. Too few people. Not supportive culture. High turnover. I see many employees who are not growing and who are developing very bad people management habits due to the example provided my their management. No end to the work you are ased to complete. No celbration of success - instead on to the next problem tosolve. Nothing is built to last. Things are built with duct tape because insufficient time invested to make things bullet proof.
