Pros

Ability to work from home. Casual atmosphere. Benefits are good. Overall nice co-workers who try to do a good job despite challenges.

Cons

Pay has been stagnant for years. No bonuses for non-sales staff. The enabling functions have been outsourced, long-term staff have been let go and there are now huge gaps in knowledge and competence in critical areas. It can be nearly impossible to perform basic business functions because no one has the knowledge or experience--or perhaps desire--to lead. The remaining staff are expected to do their own jobs as well as rectify the damage that the outsourced partners are inflicting on the company.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
