Pros
The people (your peers) are incredible. They bring you in, love you well and when you're just working on your day-to-day tasks, it'a great place. If you are content to work at a place with lots of fun, in-office perks and nice people you will be really happy here. If you want any kind of advancement, more responsibility, respect, etc. from your leaders then you will not be happy here for more than a few years. Christian company is both a pro and a con. Pro in that your peers will be the nicest souls you'll ever know. They will pray for you, rally around others, etc. They are generous and sincere. The con is that leadership uses "God" as a weapon. They will use "God" as a reason to fire, hire and do whatever they want.
Cons
You can be promoted from within... if you're friends with the right people. That's truly all it takes. They will promote the funny, charismatic novice over someone who has loyally worked (but been quiet about their accomplishments) for YEARS. I saw it happen first hand dozens and dozens of times. If you're not in bed with the right people, you'll never advance. It's particularly difficult to work here as a woman, and not because of the men... but because of the women on the board who personify female cattiness. They want to be the only ones on top. On the same day they wear a mini skirt, they will call you into their office to tell you that "men are visual creatures, and your clothes fit you too well. you should go up a size." (Actual, mortifying conversation with SS) They will stand up in staff meeting, all smiles (in front of Dave) and say "welcome in the new people! make them feel at home!" and then an hour later COMPLETELY ignore your existence in the elevator (JS). If you're liked by the right people, this will be the best job you ever had. If you're the other 90% of the company, you will hustle and hustle and hustle and never get the praise, raise and affirmation you deserve. But hey, you get 1,000 at Christmas so you should shut up and be grateful right? And when you feel like it's time to move on.... good luck. You will pushed out so fast and treated like the enemy. "God's calling" is an excuse only they can use, apparently.
