Pros

The game room was nice

Cons

Senior management is completely to blame for the terrible culture of that company. Nepotism, favoritism regardless of skill. A higher - ups door has a sign on it that says Stay Calm, but know that We Are Always Watching You. That is not a joke, it's on the door for everyone to see. That is the mentality. This same executive hired his wife as a contractor and within eight months got her hired on as an employee and promoted her to an executive position. The senior staff all know about it and nobody does anything. The CEO is at fault for allowing this to happen. The stories about people leaving by the masses are all true. They are constantly hiring because they cannot keep people after they get into the organization and see how things are run. They promise you training and advancement, but it's all a lie. You end up working on a team with no support and not enough team members, you are setup to fail from day one. The senior staff all praise each other every time code gets put out the door like they did anything other than sit around and watch. Morale is always low. You will never be given the opportunity to express your ideas and make things better. They do not pay the average in the Tampa Bay area, and they are constantly surprised when people leave for higher paying jobs.

Pros

Really the only positive aspect of working in office in tampa is the employees.

Cons

The company doesn’t seem to care about their in-office employees. Over the years they have stopped giving any perks to working for their corp office - there used to be a sense of care with company picnics, raffles, warehouse furniture sales for employees, EOY bonuses, even holiday parties, but all that is gone now. They don’t even offer separate PTO and sick time, it’s all lumped in together. But wait, that’s not all. Last year an employee came dressed up as ICE for Halloween and HR didn’t do anything about it, which was shocking to so many employees but with the political leaning of the C suite, I can’t say that’s surprising at all. And finally, there have been a handful of layoffs over the past few years and one thing you should keep in mind is if you get laid off for any reason, no matter your tenure at the company you will only get one week of severance. There have been several ex employees who have worked for 5+ years and have had very little compensation for it. Save your time and go apply for a company who actually cares about the people who work for them.
