They think they own you

Pros

None that I can think of if you're not related to the CEO and/or President

Cons

They think they own you. They have no qualms about calling any time of the day or night for matters that are sometimes very insignificant. No one in the company makes money except for the President and the CEO and their respective families who all work there at seriously inflated salaries. The general employees however rarely get raises and are mistreated. There is no HR department and if you have a grievance of any kind you have to take it to the COO who is also the in-house counsel but who also doesn't even really work for the company. She is of absolutely no help and is in fact probably one of the biggest abusers in the company.

Only care about bottom dollar, and do not care about employees, brands, or clients.

Pros

Convenient location, some good people in business and accounting departments who are/were working there.

Cons

Highly unprofessional top management and hiring staff; there is no Human Resource department - it is run by the Chief Operating Officer/General Counsel who is very unprofessional and does not treat people as human beings; absolutely no work/life balance; no positive work culture; no respect for employee morale; be prepared to be yelled at and humiliated in front of the entire company; this company has had at least one former employee file suit against them in the 3 years they have been in business.
