Pros

-Had a few good team members who were smart and collaborative. -Enjoyed coming together as a team and company to address any issues for the company to operate more efficiently. However, it felt like there were so many discussions and documentations and less implementation. -Some fun team outings. -Overall, a decent place to start your career or a temp job but not somewhere to grow.

Cons

-Benefits have been the worst that I've seen - almost nonexistent. The company has been around since the 90's but hasn't grown enough to invest in decent benefits. -There was no annual review so no merit increases. -Not an innovative company for a webdesign agency. -I question the attitude of middle management who've been there for awhile - could possibly contribute to the lack of innovation and growth for the company. Pretty sure they also wrote the comment about prima donnas/divas - just shows their lack of professionalism and lack of empathy for team members (Minnesota Nice at its best).

For any potential future employees, the above statements are incorrect. We are both confused and concerned about the above review, mainly because our company currently offers a robust benefits package, including traditional and high deductible health insurance options, dental, vision, company-paid 401K contributions, and company-paid Short Term Disability (STD), Long Term Disability (LTD), and life insurance, which have been in place since January 2020. Our company does quarterly employee performance reviews (EOS quarterly conversations). We conduct annual compensation reviews each June, during which employees are considered for merit increases.

Great co-workers but that's about it.

Pros

The developers are great along with other support staff. I could easily work by myself or ask my team to help out when I hit a wall with a challenging problem.

Cons

The pay is very low compared to industry standards. Management is lost. No clear vision and have isolated themselves from the workers. They were not living their core values.
