Pros
It's difficult to think of 20 words for the PRO side of this experience. PROS: Nice downtown location Generally friendly and helpful coworkers Helps to know that everyone is in the same boat Always a paycheck
Cons
PRESIDENT/CEO: He likes to tout little or no hierarchy, but on the flip side, decisions are bottle necked by him. He is the final word about everything -- and his concern is always the bottom line -- he cares little about efficient process, and generally believes he can do your job better than you can. President/CEO is gruff and condescending, leaves employees feeling stifled and stressed. Employees of all levels trip over themselves to please him but the feeling of being on the chopping block always lingers through the air. Pres/CEO loves to say this is a entrepreneurial company, if that mean stingy and unimaginative, then that's about right. CONS: You see real potential in projects and people, but upward mobility is mostly non-existent Company grows through acquisition only, no organic growth For a tech company, equipment and software are outdated, old, and often break down Pay is on the low side of the market, no periodic increases (always talk of raise freeze) Bonuses to upper management only Insurance benefits are lacking and very expensive to employees, other benefits dismal Shirt and tie EVERY day, no casual Fridays Attendance often taken at the door, no flexibility in working hours, no remote work, no summer hours Not supportive of ongoing training and furthering education Frequent turnover, motivated and quality employees leave quickly Constant talk about big future plans but nothing really happens Employees asked to contribute positive Glassdoor reviews because of current low %
