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.
