Pros

- Kind coworkers - Occasional free lunches/holiday celebrations - Most departments are hybrid - Will leave with unbelievable stories about this place

Cons

- Rampant nepotism and low pay for average workers. - Difficult to get a promotion or raise... cheap company when it comes to salaries. - Horrible benefits - No real HR department or standards being enforced. Lots of things fly that shouldn’t… - Constant yelling from the upper management when the CEO is in and sometimes from others even when she is not in. PLEASE listen to the other reviews.

Pros

Some good people working for the company.

Cons

Is hard to list them all. Poor management and completely disorganized. Top executive yells and curses all the time - so either you get used to it or that's not the place for you. No one should be submitted to that kind of management. That's not how you treat people, specially the ones helping your company to grow. They need to be organized, efficient and stop micromanagement (trust your employees!!!).
