Pros

small employee discount, they don't fire

Cons

not sure where to start -The management is horrible. Constant lectures, always changing direction leaving us to redo work 3 times sometimes and extremely micro managing. -mean girls -low pay and if you ask for a raise or negotiate they practically laugh in your face -the nepotism is CRAZY. You will never advance far in this company unless your last name is Dillard. Even if you are an expert in the field they will promote a Dillard to be a president over you. -no windows in the office and its extremely dusty and moldy -working until 6 everyday was BRUTAL -BAD PTO!!! When you accept the job you are told you have 10 days of PTO and then on the first day of the job the handbook tells you that you cannot take a PTO day until 6 months in and you will not get anymore PTO days until 10 YEARS at the company!!! You also don't get MLK, presidents day or MEMORIAL day off! -literally all of the employees are unhappy and hate working there

Pros

Only pro is that you can expect there won't be any. So, transparency.

Cons

Annual raises for salaried employees are minimal, often only 100–500 dollars per year, regardless of performance or inflation. Salaried roles are consistently compensated below industry standards for comparable positions. Management routinely solicits employee input and feedback, then consistently ignores it, making requests for opinions feel performative rather than genuine. Excessive favoritism is openly displayed, accompanied by constant gossip, drama, and office politics that undermine professionalism and team cohesion. Leadership culture normalizes poor treatment by implying that if everyone is miserable together, the situation is acceptable. The company shows little concern for employee health and safety, pressuring staff to work in unsafe conditions because “it was done before.” Employees who raise workplace health concerns or request alternate work arrangements for health reasons are consistently penalized rather than supported, effectively forcing them to choose between their health and their job. The building was shot at, and management waited several hours to inform employees and refused to let anyone go home, demonstrating a disregard for basic safety and crisis response expectations. Any non-vacation time off, including sick time, medical appointments, and other approved leave, can be held against employees and negatively affect promotions, raises, and recognition. Promotions and raises are often denied based on incomplete or misleading assessments of performance, while significant individual contributions and permanent fixes to long-standing issues go unrecognized. External or third-party training and professional development are not supported and, in some cases, are actively discouraged. Execs are only concerned about profits and never employee well being, morale, or happiness.
