Pros

Good place to start off Learn the very basics

Cons

This company will hire to fire and does not pay well. If you are desperate for GIS work then its an okay place to work but I would start looking for something bette ASAP. They do not care for you so you should not care for them, I was told one day I was doing a great job and I would be receiving a raise next month and then was laid off with 40 others with no warning the next week. The work is also very unfulfilling and work culture is not good at all. The CEO also loved to pander to the lower workers and is very unprofessional and incompetent. I would avoid at all costs.
