Pros

This place is a stepping stone where you can develop skills - technical, communication, organization, but that is where the benefits end. They also have 2-3 really good sales reps that keep the company afloat. You will learn how NOT to run a company, which is valuable as well. I should note that the other negative reviews are 100% accurate and I would advise potential applicants to steer far, far away. While I enjoyed some of my time there and met some great people, I do feel like I wasted time and my career suffered because of it.

Cons

It's a job, not a career. Extremely poor management with a everyone is replaceable mentality. They avoid promotions and raises at all costs, more recently shy away from substantial bonuses, yet gloat about how fast they're growing. There is very low morale in the office as everyone is frustrated and overworked. My time here was flooded with empty promises.

Pros

Free parking, Cafeteria workers are nice. A diet-friendly meal is available daily. The phones work.

Cons

Senior management belittles employees. Objectives never defined. Salaried Professionals who often work late into the night are docked if three minutes late arriving to work in the morning. Emphasis is on selling passé technology. Extermely high employee churn, and low morale.

Pros

-Fun, young atmosphere (outside of work) -You'll develop a level of patience that you never thought possible -If you aren't that smart and lack common sense, you'll fit right in -If you are relatively smart and have common sense, then you'll be one of the smartest people in the building (there are probably about 8 others, so you'll have a few friends)

Cons

Poor training, poor management (with a few exceptions), and they treat you like a child (I was written up after being 4 minutes late one day...if this seems ridiculous to you and you work here anyway, then you're in for a real treat). It's honestly one of the most backwards companies that I've been affiliated with. I usually don't put too much stock into negative company reviews on websites, but the ones you'll see on here aren't far off. That being said, this job is like any other in terms of "you get out what you put in". Even if you don't move up, get promoted, ect. you have something to add to the resume. If you're working here, it's most likely because you didn't have any other options; so sack up and do what you can while looking for other opportunities. You chose this job; never forget that. Hey- it could be worse...you could be dead.
