Pros

Payday is the only meaningful benefit

Cons

There are so many con artists here, I don't have the time nor wherewithal to write about it. Worst place you could work. Don't do it if you have half a brain.

Could be worse, could be much better

Pros

Free 24/7 gym with showers on site. Company has been growing steadily for the last decade while remaining debt free. Free spacious parking and located within a hundred feet of the North Quincy Red Line T-Stop. 90% of the workforce is below the age of 30 so the employees are fun, for the most part.

Cons

Pay is pretty lousy, I do not look at this as a career whatsoever. They do not care about retaining talent via proper compensation--hiring hundreds of temp-to-perm employees every year is pretty much their business plan to compensate for the high turnover. The hours are insanely rigid--you must show up at 8:00 and not a minute later, and everyone must take their unpaid lunch break from 12-1 everyday--pretty much high school all over again. The absolute worst part is the expectation to travel great lengths during dangerous weather--even if you are not essential. Mr. Hale seems to enjoy when his business is the only one that is open in Quincy during a blizzard or hurricane. My commute has taken up to 3 hours on one such occasion, and I was not paid for that time missed.

Stay away if you don’t hate yourself

Pros

I guess some people are pretty cool

Cons

Upper management sucks, they just boast about “internal promotions/hiring” acting like they care about you, but they are a bunch of snakes who would fire their most loyal employees in the blink of an eye just to save costs. The pay is absolute trash, work is immensely hectic. No clear guidance or support from managers. I have worked 7 days a week, across multiple teams, just to feel worthless and alienated. At this point I would prefer being unemployed & homeless rather than working for this joke of a pretentious “tech” company who wants PhD level candidates for a 90k salary. Stay away!
