Pros

Great resume booster - Good products

Cons

- Only two kinds of workers here: those who are on their phones/reading books all day while passing their work off to others or those who are so overworked there is no time to breathe - High turnover in HR - Expected to babysit everyone, even your boss because they are not professional enough to keep track of their own work - Supervisors that don't know what you do but say you don't do enough - Supervisors that look for "small wins" instead of larger/big picture wins - Micromanage but preach they don't - Ask for help and they tell you your not doing your job but then tell you to ask for help if you need it - Double standard for everything - can do a process like you were told but then told you are doing it wrong - No work/life balance - Would NOT recommend to a good friend...would recommend to someone you are looking to get back at or revenge for something really really bad - May not only experience 'workmares' but will also start fantasizing about getting in a car accident so you don't have to go to work every day - Don't expect a raise even with hard work - Be prepared for someone outside the company to get the job you want to move up to even if you're qualified (they will come up with excuses or ignore you until the other person is hired and it's "too late") - You are made to be the "face" of certain things even if you don't have the authority so directors don't take the heat for it not being completed (don't worry though, you'll get blamed for something not getting done when you've been waiting for a signature)

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
