Pros

-The people you will work closely with are fantastic, however these relationships are mostly based on mutual unhappiness and disdain for the company -It's nearly impossible to get fired, if you sit at your desk and clip coupons all day you'll probably get paid more (This sounds like sarcasm, it's not, this literally happened.)

Cons

-Morale within the company is terrible -Absolutely no control over employee turn around, nor any attempt to. The lack of control over turnaround means that if you've been there two years you're a senior employee. -Upper management is completely absent until something goes wrong, after which they only attempt to pacify the customer, not fix the problem. They're extremely focused on metrics but have no effective tools actually measure them. There's a total disconnect between the average employee and what management thinks is going on. -Constant infighting between departments, communication only exists to pass the buck -Starting salary will be extremely low, and they'll do their best to keep you at that point, if you do get a raise management will act like they're doing you a favor (You'll still be well below the average if you get one, expect under $1000.00) -Career opportunities are a joke, expect everything to be a "lateral move" with no opportunity for a raise

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
