Pros

Great specialists, and some co workers were very helpful.

Cons

Mananagement only cares about money. Everyone is replaceable, even long term employees. Manager who is manager was only there two years and managed to become manager above many other employees who were dedicated, hard working and have been there. She takes advantage of her power and is only interested in pleasing upper management otherwise sits in her office all day online. Comes In late everyday then stays later but takes multiple cigarette breaks and leaves throughout day, " works from home". Chastises people when sick but is constantly taking personal leave for wedding duties or to plan "hospital events" from home, sickening. Employees are upset and that is why there is such a high turnover rate. Most employees are only there 1 year average.

Pros

Decent pay for fresh graduates. Free soft drinks for those unconcerned about their health. Most employees are very friendly. They do have special company events.

Cons

No growth or opportunities. High turnover because people eventually quit or get fired because of poor management. Horrible management because all the smart people leave, and the less intelligent ones stay to get promoted. That's why you'll see wash-ups (law students who couldn't pass the bar, 30+ year olds w/o CPAs or MBAs) as your supervisors.

Very poor management with no team building skills, no one to go to if you have issues as management does not care what you think, the place is falling apart, office manager very unprofessional and plays favorites and does not seem to actually work much or really do much
