Awful company, pay is high because that is the only way people will accept job, Dishonest, disrespectful leaders

Pros

products high pay- this is the only way they can lure people in

Cons

The products and pay are not worth it at the end of the day. There is no work life balance, I watched people in high positions demean and disrespect employees to there face and behind there back. They have an unorganized system and a lot of turnover. If you like chaos and unrealistic expectations this is the place for you. They are decent to you but if you leave they turn into horrible people and have dishonest practices. I beg you to stay away from this company. I was warned and did not listen, worst mistake ever.

Pros

Orientation, benefits, summer and casual Fridays

Cons

It is a shame that one's experience here depends on which department you land - I had a terrible manager, who also lacked any workplace social skills. I agree with the reviewer who posted that when you leave, they treat you terribly. I stayed professional up to the end, while I was met with unprofessional behavior from every turn.

Pros

I can't think of one because this company is the worst. Disorganized, micro managed, no advancement, no basic decency

Cons

There are too many to mention and each department is worse than then next. They have 2 black employees in a company of 100 people
