Pros

-None I see no reason, why anybody would want to stay at this company in the long run. If I could give this place 0 stars....I would.

Cons

**Worked on the Operations Team -Highly Understaffed -Poor Brand Name Recognition (Won't do much good to include on your Resume) -A lot of pay is in stock -No matching 401K -0% Work Life Balance -Management is awful and highly political -Work culture is terrible (either your on the "inside" and play heavy politics or on the "outside" where people treat you as expendable) -No opportunity for growth or learning -A Small company with Big company problems and without any of the benefits **MARK MY WORDS. DO NOT WORK HERE. HR IS VERY GOOD AT PERSUASION. DON'T LISTEN TO THE SIREN SONG!

Pros

Growing company. I sat here for 15min trying to think of any other pros and there is honestly nothing else.

Cons

very cut throat company. A lot of politics were played in the position/ team I was in. Very stressful for the low salary.
