Pros

Really great co-workers, but most of them want to leave.

Cons

-Poor, inexperienced management -One person makes all the buying decisions and you have little to no say -Extremely Unorganized -If you don't have the reports ready for an unexpected meeting, you get reprimanded -You will end up doing the job of at least 3-5 people -Management will belittle you and make you feel unimportant -You will get in trouble for things you were never trained on -No structure / No promotions -No work/life balance -Management gives annual awards out to themselves -Frowned upon for leaving ON TIME even if you have small children at home that depend on you -Horrible pay for the huge workload -They will Lie to you in your interview about getting more pay/ a higher title within months of working there. Don't believe them - this NEVER happens and everyone falls in the trap. (It's sad) -High turnover -Management plays favorites no matter your experience level

Pros

Great place to learn and work directly with the business owners. Networking with several vendors and establishing contacts was the best part of the job.
