Pros

- Amazing people. - Good PTO policy. - Tasks were satisfying and made an impact. - If you did well, you were rewarded and promoted.

Cons

- Terrible, terrible work-life balance. 50-60 hour work weeks were regular, schedule was almost never predictable. Coming in on Saturdays were normal during busier seasons - Highly stressful work environment. Company was more interested in finding scapegoats over solutions when something went wrong. - Heavy micro-management. Old school management mentality. - Consistently understaffed. - Little focus on quality/process improvement from management, only making ends meet. - zero retention rate as no one wants to stay here.
