Pros

Decent pay, some great co-workers, almost zero commute time for me. As long as you're not in management, you keep your head down and your opinions to yourself, you'll be mostly fine... (see Cons)

Cons

Hostile work environment due to a chauvinistic CEO. You will often here him swearing at and demoralizing his managers at the top of his lungs behind closed doors... yet, you can here it at the other end of the building. He will also kick and throw trash cans and slam keyboards on the table. No one dares to challenge or stand up to him because they don't want to lose their jobs. Salary workers must clock in/out (including lunches) along with the hourly workers and are subject to the same rules and restrictions as them... 1 minute late results in a daily email to the CEO with the names of those people (hourly and salary) along with a note in your employee file in HR. Salary workers are also expected to work the majority of federal holidays. You will be lucky to get Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years day off as a salary worker... "Project Deadlines" seem to always magically happen at year end and..."all salary exempt workers are required to move the company forward.." (Those of you who work/worked there will get this quote!) Employee turnover is non-stop. You will see new faces (and not see old faces) every single week. I am so glad I was able to find a better job and move on with my life. Even though I value the experience and friends gained here, I am relieved that this chapter of my career is behind me.

Pros

Absolutely nothing! I can't name one thing positive about that place

Cons

A manager called me and asked me to come for an interview. I am very skilled for a job way much harder than the one I interviewed for. I had an amazing interview with the manager. I was then called to meet the CEO and I was shocked. When I googled reviews about this company. I did believe any of these posts and thought that people always complain and this cannot be true. I have people manners and I am a very polite person. I have NEVER met someone as mentally disturbed as this CEO. He was so rude. He literally started talking to a manager about firing an employee while I was responding to his question in my interview. He tahinks he is smart and he knows everything. The managers sitting next to me were so scared of him! I have dealt with CEO of global companies that are 100 times bigger than his so called company! I have never felt disrespected the way I get in that interview! All I can say is believe these reviews and run the other way. Work anything else and do not work at that company. I seriously thought of contacting my lawyer after te way he spoke to me! An advice to this CEO: u need serious help and u need to learn manners. Impolite and disrespectful CEO. I am shocked!

Pros

Garage parking for managers but not for other employees. Office is OK.

Cons

This company is an abusive working environment. The CEO is a jerk. He uses F word everyday. Pressure is everywhere. People hate each other. Long working hours. No holidays. Minimum benefit. CEO could fire anybody anytime. I saw quite many dramas in this company. Stay away from this employer whenever you can.
