Pros

I no longer work there and I have the freedom to warn any potential victims.

Cons

Lets start at the beginning. The failure to strategically plan ahead into the future is the start of many challenges within this company. With fast company growth the developments within the companies software lacked behind causing chaos and confusion.

Pros

Young company with great values. Always looking for ways to improve. My employment relationship here doesn’t seem like a job. It’s a career and part of my lifestyle.

Cons

I personally don’t have any true company or business model complaints. You all have been rocking it since I became a part of the team. I started in November and I’ve stayed above the top of my field in performance but I don’t want that to hold me back from a promotion and growth. Not saying that it will.

Pros

They pay their employees good! The salary is not worth the headache.

Cons

The new leadership is horrible. They treat their employees terrible. They are constantly changing things with little guidance on the changes. They have ran off and fired some of the best employees. Can not refer anyone to work for this company. Most the staff is looking for new jobs to get out soon.
