Pros

A job is better than no job? Employees are mostly all great people - who just need to escape from there.

Cons

Don't waste your time...wait for the right company to join. Jobscience will use you for every ounce of your time, energy, and more. CEO rules the company like a tyrant, instilling fear in employees with intimidation tactics (that he also tries to teach to any minion who is willing to play along), and he ultimately listens to no one but himself. Lacking a conscience, he treats people like dollar signs at most, giving them little value and respect both personally and professionally. Over the years, the company has probably committed every type of HR violation that exists, many times over (ironically for an HR software company). Jobscience employs the young and impressionable, so it's risky for them to speak up when they're already so severely underpaid. New managers and other C-level execs are often unable to work with CEO and eventually leave, but nothing changes with the core problem. Just don't even apply - you'll regret it eventually, if not in the first couple weeks or after the interview. At least one person has willingly left the company practically every week for the past few months. Apparently CEO goes on witch hunts and personally calls all his former employees to find out who writes these Glassdoor reviews! Absolutely pathetic. It seems unbelievable, but as you can see through all the other reviews - it's all true.

Great opportunity for career growth

Pros

I worked at JS for just over 6 years. This is the kind of job that is what you make it. If you want an easy job to clock in and get a paycheck you should go work at a big company with lots of bureaucratic bs. But if you are passionate about what you do and you put in the effort you are rewarded handsomely. In my time there revenues had more than tripled which was the result of of the employees who worked hard, took pride in their work, and executed. Key contributors are appreciated and advance quickly.

Cons

Since JS is largely a self funded organization capitol constraints were an issue from time to time and decisions on what internal projects could be accomplished had to be prioritized.

Does not value employees

Pros

If you are new to business there is lots of room to grow. Several interns have become directors of their respective department in only 1-2 years.

Cons

Employees are not valued at all... SEVERAL employees who took maternity or sick leave for serious medical issues have returned to find that they had been fired or their position in the company had "disappeared" Compensation is NOT competitive, also no 401k matching. The CEO is extremely impulsive and will change the company's "direction" so many times per day or week it is impossible to obtain any goals in any department. Senior Management is a revolving door.
