Pros

Decent pay Great Benefits Lunch, snacks and coffee provided Excellent trainers, the training videos are great

Cons

You will get different job duties, or sometimes even a totally different job altogether than what you signed up for, however, you don’t get any training or guidelines. When you make a mistake or there is a perceived issue (which will inevitably happen when you don’t know their expectations), you’re out the door. Employees don’t get the courtesy of a discussion or even feedback when this happens. The owner is extremely intimidated by anyone with business knowledge or any leadership ability. Employees who have ideas or suggestions to make the company better risk their jobs by saying so. Senior management has no strategy or best practices in place. Every decision is made on the owner's whims. This results in undue stress for everyone, because there are no expectations, and the same mistakes being made over and over again. Unfortunately, it’s the employees who pay for this (someone has to and the owner certainly isn’t going to take responsibility for his own bad decisions) Overall, the company is ran using fear. Employees aren’t encouraged or inspired to help make the company great, people are sick with fear that they will be let go for no reason. This creates an anxious, depressed workforce who know they need to leave before they’re fired.

Pros

Good Pay Great Benefits Fun coworkers Fun office including coffee and catered lunch

Cons

No loyalty. Employees are treated as expendable idiots despite the fact that they have to manage the managers and are the ones actually keeping the company alive. The good employees are let go, or more often, leave because of the terrible culture. I would not suggest leaving another job, turning down another job, or relocating for a position here because chances are you will not be here long. In order to succeed here, you have to be a brown nosing yes man, people who actually give their ideas and thoughts to management will be fired. The owner is obnoxious to the point of being an embarrassment and a liability. He spends his days pulling inappropriate practical jokes and downright harassing employees. If you are a woman, in addition to the disgusting harassment you can count on your contributions being completely dismissed. The benefits offered are not truly for the employee but to make the company a "Best Employer" (necessary to stay alive when people are leaving in droves). Unfortunately these awesome benefits and a truly cool company are overshadowed by the fear based culture, an owner who does not seem to care about the company at all, and the ridiculously anxiety everyone shows up to work with everyday wondering if this is the day they will be let go
