      Pros

      Lunch program, Good people who want to do a good job for the customer. Location of the office relative to commute

      Cons

      Favoritism and politics are a hinderance to identifying real talent. Mentality of management is a throwback to the 80's....promotions and lateral moves have nothing to do with achievement and skillset.

      Pros

      You learn a lot when other employees leave and you are reassigned their workload. Gaining of useful work experience. You can also learn a lot about how not to manage.

      Cons

      There is a lack of real management knowledge at the highest level. Groupthink is prevalent and is the only way to get ahead. If you have learned knowledge and attempt to offer it, you are shunned and sometimes fired due to intimidation by insecure management. I also experienced unethical business dealings with customers and employees. Management by fear and intimidation. Managers also openly admitted disapproval of women and old folks in authoritative positions. Finally, pay not equitable amongst sexes, or for those with experiences, and benefits were old school (no flex time). Overall not a positive place or place for real growth.

      Bait and Switch. Looks great on outside but hot mess underneath.

      Pros

      Some great people if they stay. Lunch program. If you like Mad men and old school work atmosphere this is the place for you. Ties, Skirts and high heels encouraged. Plus you are encouraged to work late and at home but you can't leave early without using vacation.

      Cons

      Wasted 2 years on dead end job. Was not the job I was hired for and no one in my group ever gets promoted.. All honest reviews below regarding time off, travel and promotions. Popular young trendy kids get fastracked. Looks and dress more important than ethics. 40 somethings shown the door. No automation or IT of any sort to help business. Company stuck in 1980's. No compliance or security around files /privacy both employee and customer. There are many small business run better and more efficient.
