Pros

1. They supply nice break rooms 2. Free coffee (which is actually chicory a root ground up to imitate coffee for less cost), soda 3. Nice facilities 4. Great benefits 5. Many times they will supply a company vehicle

Cons

Where do I start....... 1. They base the their business solely off of a "DiSC" profile. The "I" is lowercase for a reason. If you have it in your profile what-so-ever you are doomed! By the way, the "I" is your interpersonal. If you are a human being with any kind of feelings or emotions. 2. I have heard on numerous occasions "BURY THEM!" this was common talk among management when dealing with subs...... 3. You are hired with a job description, and that is the last time you will see a clear understanding of what you are expected to do.... If you are hired as a designer, you will do project management. If you are hired as an IT, you will do shipping coordination... and so on and so forth. 4. One you (obviously fail) at doing the job you weren't hired to do, they will treat you as awful as they possibly can, in order for you to quit. Now, if you decide to be thick skinned, and hang in there. They will continue demoting you until you are cleaning toilets and cant make ends meat..... Again, until you quit. 5. I have on multiple occasions heard the Owner berate, belittle, and down right break every code of ethics to employees right in front of their entire team. 6. You will be hired as salary and expected to work well over 40 hours with no pay.

Pros

They have a gym at the Lititz location if you are lucky enough to work there They hire lots of attractive people to work with They occasionally provide free food

Cons

Benefits are terrible. Vacation is non existent (unless you're a manager) Management is mostly 25 or younger with no real work experience. DISC Personality profile. Take it online. They will only pay you well if you are mostly a "D". They hate everyone else. No room to move up the company ladder. Small raises (if any) High turn over rate IT departments are paid WAY MORE than any other department
