Pros

Cool co-workers that can become your real friends.

Cons

Don't appreciate employees. Had to report several problems to HR and had never been solved, not only with me but with several good and productive co-workers as well. Some had to leave the company because of that. Management won't care to keep good employees. They won't care if you are not able to make a decent paycheck as long the department hit their numbers. I had to drop my health insurance because couldn't afford it any more. Had a good opportunity in another company and manager said crap about me, yet he won't fire me (contradiction). He won't care if I have work, but will come running when he needs something done right away. Work will be delayed for his or others fault and then I have to come and fix it, even try to make me see that it it my fault. Even calls me in my day off and have to cancel my plans to go and solve the problem. Last smack in my face, I had a big life changing raise of $0.50 after years of service.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
