Pros

Great learning opportunity in a fast paced company.

Cons

Departments are silo's. Favorites are played heavily. Poor communication from leadership. Basically, it is "Put your head down and work, don't ask questions, and whaterver you do...do NOT question authority."

Medical benefits have a minimal cost to employee Good Location Nice co-workers for the most part

Cons

No 401K match Salary is very Low and raises are close to inexistent Growth opportunity is rare or if there it comes with a work load of 4 people as opposed to 3 people before promotion. Management is new and lack people skills and use power to benefit themselves Personal interests are accepted and encouraged although it is NOT professional Retaliation is encouraged, but well covered by senior management and HR Management have too much power and HR is not a help HR is weak and is not employee oriented Senior management does not interfere or help new managers Executives mentality is old fashion and lacks trust in their hires
