Business Outlook

Pros

When there is work it is interesting and there is a great variety of it.

Cons

Abysmal PTO. When the sales are slow, employees go hungry. Management is ultra focused on short term profitability, no time can be spent on sales, marketing and development projects.

Decent coworkers and some flexibility in schedule

Cons

Management cares nothing about the employees Management doesn't care about quality, only profit margin Training is almost none existent Management plays favorites and punishes people they don't like regardless of your work efforts. They only pay 1 to 2% raises every year regardless of work performance Healthcare plans have gotten worse over time with less benefits and higher out of pocket costs. No work/life balance
