Pros

Allowed me time to find a better job. Pay was OK for Tucson.

Cons

CEO was in his prime in the 80s and lacked understanding of the power of computers. You were not allowed to use words like "Database", or "CRM." The sales people maintained their own systems and when they left the company they took the data with them. Directors are scared of the CEO (owner) and ensure you are scared of them. CEO fired his own family and hired them back then fired them again. In a large meeting, the CEO called an employee "the current placeholder" of a position. Like I said, it was brutal. HR was so busy recruiting there was no time or desire for development.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
