Pros

Nice people to work with. No overtime, just put in the 40 hrs per week. Plenty of work.

Cons

Still have to clock-in and out even if salaried. Doing the time is more important that getting the work done. Can't work from home. Very few perks.

Pros

You have job security as long as you do everything you're told without offering ideas to make things better.... either through product development or workplace operations. You can be there forever and go nowhere. You will get a 1-2% raise if that each year. But you have longevity/security. The owner is a genuine person.

Cons

You will be Micro-managed in nearly every department. You must use a time punch system, and your hours may be questioned at any time. Most employees will keep a log themselves to ensure they work at least 45 hours a week. No one trusts the Human Resources Department in either CA or NC and are afraid of interacting with them. It is comprised of middle-aged women with little to no oversight, allowing an air of authority and a "Queen Bee" situation. If they don't like you, you may not be there long. The VP's. Many are there because they've worked there a long time, but most have horrible managerial skills. None of them appreciate valuable employees. Turn over is high, Extron is a stepping stone employer. Great in the industry and looks good on your resume but no one with ambition or drive remains past year 5.

Pros

The nice thing about this place is it is always clean as they have janitorial services working during the early mornings to afternoon so the place is very clean. The coffee is always hot and ready, vending machines carry nice snacks, and most everything in the newest building above the restaurant is new so fair to say, its better than other buildings. The only good thing about this place are the few employees who are smart and do their job. They are good people working their tails off to earn their paycheck in hopes to one day promote and continue on their career paths.

Cons

I'll keep it simple: - no clear direction - management is as confused as their subordinates - management does not know how to lead - the owner keeps women from advancing (yes, I'm aware of the FEW handful of women in supervisory and management positions) - web development is behind the times as is their staff and it shows in their lack of skills - some web development don't deserve those jobs, they don't even know what they're doing and heavily lean on the ones that do to cover their lack of skills - management is just as clueless, those people get promoted only because of tenure not because they have earned their place at the table - one walks around with his turkey neck acting nonchalant and friendly, but is worthless to his team and the company, but he does play it well. - in order to fit in you have to do some major "friend-making" and be below average intelligence level. Dont believe me? Take a job there and observe, you'll be back here writing a similar review Take a look at the ratings. When a negative rating is given, management hints at it to subordinates so they go on there and give a review. Take a look at the reviews and you'll see how many good reviews follow a bad.
