Toxic and Unstable.

Pros

Pavlov Media works with a lot of different technologies and they are always trying new things. If you want to get exposure and learn some technical skills especially in computer networking its a great launchpad for someone's career.

Cons

This is easily a textbook toxic environment. The instability of the CEO is the major source of strife, inertia and chaos. Layoffs are routine. Even hourly employees can't ignore the reality that Pavlov Media is always struggling to stay afloat. You'll feel a constant state of insecurity if you depend on this job.

Good people, awful business model

Pros

cool technology, good people, decent pay

Cons

The business is built on selling internet service to landlords of multi-dwelling units, so the customers and the users are different people. If the landlord skimps on bandwidth (which most do) the residents get terrible service with nothing tech support can do about it nor can they tell the residents the truth of the situation.

Pros

-Relaxed dress code -Informal / relaxed work atmosphere -Medical / Dental / Life insurance coverage -Opportunity to attend tech conferences -Opportunity for experience with many different technologies and software frameworks

Cons

-Lack of structure/process within most departments, as well as failure to enforce the over-arching structure between departments, is highly prevalent. This leads to a very stressful work environment, as you can often get conflicting orders between the CEO and his appointed VPs. -The CEO interrupts work very often for new objectives and unrelated discussion, much of which is highly inappropriate for the workplace. -Very little opportunity for advancement on the software side. -Tendency to reward/promote people based on perceived necessity, and not based on actual merit or contributions. -Tendency to take advantage of salaried employees' time in ways that are wasteful or unnecessary. -Despite knowing problems ahead of time, management is not always open to preventative maintenance and often does not want to talk about the problem until it is directly costing them money.
