Pros

The senior mamagement team is extremely knowledgable and if you are fortunate to work closley with them and able to overlook certain aspects you will be able to learn alot. It is due only to the V-P and Presdnt that the firm has gotten where they are today and wil continue continue to grow in spite of the flaws within the corporation.

Cons

office is extremely clickish to point of where its uncomfortable to go to work. Being a small office compared to "normal"' corporation there is no place "to hide" in order to professionally avoid that feeling and continue to work effectively. Even when you do a good job (very few times in eyes of management) you are acknowledgded in a condesending manner which diminishes its worth. The pay is not good and the office is demanding. Their benefits are below standard and policies are not in alignment w corporate standards. Majority of workers that do stay are not happy w management (verging on hatred) but come in do their work , deal with daily nonsense and abuse and leave. Almost the entire staff has something to say about how they are treated and handled unfavorable yet will not approach upper management (some are managers themselves) to discuss the situation. It is a chore to get to work and make it thru the day.

Pros

-There is free coffee -Every 2nd week the company buys bagels for breakfast -We get to use wide screen monitors -Jeans on Fridays

Cons

-Constant micromanagement -No Health Insurance/401K or benefits as an internal employee (Recruiter) -Today's Commissions are paid at the end of the next quarter. I didn't get my first check until after my 5th month -Promised a raise, never happened. -You will be encouraged to work unpaid overtime, however when you miss work and make up the hours you're not paid for it. You are told you are a salaried employee so they don't have to pay OT. However, when you miss hours/days you are hourly. LOL. -Low commissions and base salary. -3 paid Vacation Days a year (Yes, that was not a typo). Anytime you take a day off, you are questioned the next day because they assume you're interviewing. -Expect daily verbal abuse as a recruiter. (That is guaranteed) -Toxic work culture. -You are forced to pay for breakfast for the whole company every 3 months. As a new employee i was stunned, then i just rolled with it. -You are also forced to by co-worker birthday gifts, even if you don't know them. The manager walks around the office shaking you down until you give up the cash. -Management is unprofessional and incompetent.
