Pros

-You can wear jeans/causal clothes -Peers are great people -Jack Ross is a decent CEO - Benefits program is decent

Cons

1. Good ol' boy system - promotes the same managers over and over. I can't remember the last time a peer was promoted to a manager. MIT program is a joke. Only people that are well liked are chosen to go through it and even once your done there is no where to go because the same people get promoted. 2. Cubie world is alive and well. 3 grey walls is what you get. They try and make it cool buy adding a couple chairs as a "lounge", but it's seriously lacking. Not everyone is allowed stand up desks. Company should be promoting the idea of open areas and ways for people to stand up vs. sitting down all day. 3. VP's have and do make you feel that if you make a somewhat decent salary after years of employment that you should be grateful to have it and that they can take it away anytime they like and have. They have no issues changing pay just because they can. Even if, as a division, you made budget/goal for the entire year. 4. Some departments have the opportunity to adjust their schedules to accommodate kids or school, etc. But other departments want to make you feel that your work hours are this and there is no exceptions. Not fair for hard working employees to see other departments enjoy this opportunity and some are not. Same goes with people working for home 1 day a week and most employees can't when we ALL would love it!! Again, micro managing gone crazy and stuck in the 90's office mentality. 5. Senior level VP's need to get more involved with division level changes and make sure that all divisions in the company are even and fair (flexible schedules, etc...). You have great employees here, but you have managers in place that make you feel like it's their way and there is the door if you don't like it. 6. Impossible to get on a committee within the company (activities, united way, etc...) unless you are in with the "in" crowd.

Pros

Absolutely zero, none, zippo, run as far away from this organization that you can.

Cons

Senior Management only cares about themselves. This company has destroyed many lives by letting long term employees go who really built the company in the first place.

Pros

The coffee is free, the building has heat and air conditioning, a business casual dress code.

Cons

Awful pay. New graphic designers can expect to get paid poverty wages ($12/hour) to start with an average of $15/hour. If you work here long enough and take a leadership role you MIGHT eventually make around $20/hour. In other words they pay their senior graphic designers less than other employers pay fresh out of college designers. The average salary for software engineers is $49,000. Reported salaries range from $40,000 to a maximum of $65,000. Again salaries max out lower than what most other companies pay software engineers out of college. Customer service representatives can expect to start out making $13 or $14/hour for what's a dead-end position at this company unless you have the right friends. I know more than a few people who are still in the same boat they were when they were first hired years ago and who are looking to get out. No matter the department you work in benefits will always stink. Their health insurance is comes with a $1000 deductible and 20%/80% after that. Look at the salary ranges I talked about, and then imagine having to pay a $1000 deductible or more. Good luck if you ever get sick. Insulting pay might be tolerable if this were a pleasant place to work but it really isn't. Many other reviewers have gone into it better than I can but you can expect a high stress work environment (unnecessarily stressful at that because most of it is caused by other peoples' incompetence), inept management that constantly patronizes you and insults your intelligence and being expected to do more and more with nothing to show for it. The economy isn't that bad anymore and employees deserve better. If you somehow find yourself working here don't stay for long. I stayed for a couple of years, applied to a company across town (a company that isn't exactly Fortune 500 company with tons of money to throw around), and got a 100% raise and a job that's MUCH LESS STRESSFUL!!! Thanks for the on-the-job training. My new employer appreciates it.
