Pros

Good people. Most of them trying to leave, those who don't, can't, mostly due to visa concerns (they hire a lot of foreigners. In my opinion: "You give me visa, I work for less"

Cons

Despotism to begin with. The owner and CEO behaves like a scrooge. The salaries are considerably below the industry, and they pay much less than the competition. People that work in sales do the numbers and noticed they could pay much better, perhaps that is why their retention was so low. Forget about benefits, theirs are awful, when they hire they try to point "perks": free drinks. Expect to travel, both sales and applications, and expect to do both jobs. Unprofessional, as in another posting. Bad ethics towards customer - I have seen things I'd rather not mention. Despite their product being decent, I would not buy it. It is overpriced and there are some limitations they don't tell the customer. Well, the customer does not understand the limitations in most cases anyways. No training, no growth perspective. Like jail:most people doing their time so they can go somewhere else once the opportunity arises. Locations in expensive urban areas: low salaries + no benefits + high cost of living...not a good deal. Despite a few good managers, most are awful. Happy I left! It was not hard to find 2x the pay elsewhere.
