Pros

The people there seem cool but that's about it I can't really think of anything else to say that's positive

Cons

You work 10 or more hour days for like 9.42 an hour if you have facial hair you have to shave regardless of whether you keep things trim and proper you have to advertise for the company by putting a company logo bumper sticker if the owner of the company comes and see your car without one they send you home they tell you this fancy title for your position but when you get there you find out all your doing is grunt work there is no sitting down and although they give you this time table for when you get promoted you find out by other people that in real life it takes ten times the length they tell you it is

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
