Pros

Decent pay, can't think of any more. Free coffee, but it's the cheapest kind ever made. The only good reviews on here are written by the owners.

Cons

Hostile working environment, chauvenist, narcasist owners, little room for growth, no work-life balance, no overtime pay. Culture is dry, boring but hostile. Nothing nice is done for the employees. No one speaks to each other and everyone avoids eye contact. Strangest place I've ever worked. Everyone seems to hate life.

Pros

Great Opportunity to learn. Nice office.

Cons

A lot of finger pointing without understanding the full picture. Company has gotten away from investing back into the company, like new equipment upgrade computers, etc. It is more about keeping private equity ownership happy than it is about keeping the employees happy. You could have 200+ hours of PTO and when you leave, you see none of it back. You invest in the company and get none of that investment back.
