Pros

Free candy and ice cream if you want it. Most of the people who work there are nice.

Cons

Manage by fear. Constant turnover. No clear expectations on how to perform your role. Each manager seemed to run their team different. Ex - Some managers didn't care if you wore jeans to work, Another would say no jean. Both teams are performing almost the same function in an office without direct customer contact but the expectation on how they dress is totally different. Employee reviews are based off of how well you performed against your peers, not how well you performed. Ex - eveyone met their goals but one person on the team exceed them by 10%. Why didn't you meet that same goal? You need to perform better. If you want me to meet a certain standard, then set it. Don't set the standard then complain that I didn't exceed it.

Pros

Benefits, 401k, and PTO are absolutely great. Company name great for resume. Recommend staying for a year or two then bouncing if you don’t get promoted.

Cons

Punctuality bonus. If you’re late, they dock your pay. See grown adults rushing to swipe their badge to clock in…Favoritism as with like any other company. Limited room for growth pending office politics. If they like you…you get promoted. Nepotism…Management will create internships for their nieces, nephews, and children of their neighbors. Culture is about 5 principles which is great but still old school company.
