Pros

The employees are wonderful! Casual dress atmosphere...that's about it.

Cons

In response to a previous review, professional development is most definitely NOT promoted or supported- unless you consider sitting at a booth, occasionally chatting with clients to be professional development. In fact, every proposed opportunity by my team was blatantly ignored by the single person who calls all the shots- despite what it may say in the employee handbook or "benefits" discussed during interviews. As nearly all previous reviews noted, one person controls the office. This person's business acumen is questionable at best and has very clear biases. 6 employees left for better offers/ less toxic work environments in a short period of time. The truly odd thing is that employee departures are not acknowledged. When the sole HR representative quit, no one was notified. Most people found out over coffee in the break room. Also, mgmt dismisses employee departures as one offs, rather than consider how their actions, or lack of action may have caused people to quit. The list goes on. Overall, great employees to work with but poorly managed. Period. And the previous review regarding people viewing high expectations as a con is not only ridiculous and insulting but blatantly untrue. All employees worked hard- a fact only intermittently acknowledged.

Pros

Breakfast every morning & modern office. Location is great for metra commuters and parking isn't too bad for those who wants to drive to work.

Cons

I would be lying if I said everything about this place is a joke because I have met some pretty great people (hence the one star rating) but one thing we all had in common, we disliked working here. It's by far, the worst place I have ever worked for and definitely regret making the decision to join the company. I went ahead and accepted an offer despite the fact that everyone here has been warning everyone looking to accept an offer. Everyone I know has left the company while working here and even after leaving, people are still reaching out to tell me that they have left or planning to leave. I mean, it's not hard to feel bad leaving a company with such awful management, or more like a one woman show. If you decide to work here, you have been warned, you'll only make it out alive if you decide to suck up to one person and one person only. It doesn't matter if you do your job well and make new friends, you will hate it there. Don't work here if you are looking for growth, opportunity, and learning environment. You will be wasting your time.
