Bad, bad management. Period.

Pros

Free lunches on Wednesdays, nice views from office, dedicated and smart coworkers, good location if you live in the suburbs and hate the NYC commute, booze and food stocked in the company kitchen.

Cons

One of the owners of this company yells and screams at staff daily—really and truly. And certain other top managers are not a lot better. The whole place feels like a war zone on the worst of days. There is high turnover, of course. Also, there are bizarre rules enforced, such as asking full-time employees to sign out whenever they leave the office, not being allowed to hang your coat on your chair at your desk, and half the staff not having phones at their workstations. No eating at your desk allowed unless it's a "snack" (vs. a meal). Worst of all, the products are severely rushed, and quality suffers terribly as a result. If you care about doing a good job and being treated with respect, this is the wrong place to work.

Pros

The work hours! No weekend work besides during busy season.

Cons

Training is horrific. If you tell your manager anything personal it will be spread amongst the office. They terminate people at-will. They only let higher up people listen to music. People have worked six months and longer and still can't be found in Cigna's health insurance even though they are paying into it. Plus very low pay for all that you have to do. Environment is very unprofessional! They terminated a pregnant woman and a man with a disability then told the whole office a lie on why they terminated them. Don't do it!!!!!!

Pros

Some of the people are nice.

Cons

Too many to list. Family-owned and run. If you're in the inner circle, you're fine. If not, forget about fair pay, advancement, or even being acknowledged by the higher ups. The level of disorganization and poor quality output is epic. A lack of systems means every single situation is like the Titanic instead of just a regular working day.
