Pros

There are some really hard working people that have maintained solid work ethics. I have made friends here that will last far after my time with this company.

Cons

As some of the suspicious 4/5 star reviews may imply it is only "crummy" people that have been fired that write these reviews. Well, I'm not a crummy person and I left on my own good will. It's no coincidence the manner these rave reviews come in, just enough to keep the overall rating teetering at a cool 2.2, way to go BDA! If you ever wondered what high school would look like as an adult, this is your place and sadly it's promoted by some of the leaders of this company. Management is incompetent, favortism will be provided so long as you bow down and do whatever they want, regardless if it's right. Don't ask questions, in fact it's better to not even have a mind of your own, you will be labeled a problem child if so. The least motivated employees will be rewarded most while the hardest working ones get no recognition at all, unless they've "come up" with something to condemn you about you'll be sure to hear about that. Workload is out of control but if you're the teachers pet you are certain to be accommodated with a very comfy workload. CFO likes puppets, with a do as I say and don't ask questions attitude. Poor management has resulted in really good people leaving the company, I've seen entire departments leave. It has impacted suppliers, which are penalized for putting accounts on hold for nonpayment which in turn effects ability for sales and orders to be fufilled. Turnover throughout company is incredibly high. They will entice you with elaborate parties, feed you great food and alcohol too! On the surface it looks like a great place but there is a bleak and unethical side once you get in. People work ungodly hours and are expected to in order to get work done. Pay is mediocre and not worth the stress. There are a lot of reviews that note the same issues with this company and the complaints couldny ne more accurate. If you choose to ignore that and believe the periodic rave reviews posted then this might be the place for you.
