Decent Job, but Not Great

Pros

Willing to accept entry-level employees, cool coworkers, flexible scheduling, lots of company events/trips planned throughout the year, good health insurance benefits, and ability to move up.

Cons

THE PAY! This is by far the biggest con. My position changed many times while I was an employee and though I was given more and more responsibility, my pay was never changed to reflect that. Management can be another con, depending on the department that you work in. Some of the managers do not seem to fully understand what their employees do and do not communicate well. I would also just like to point out that the Marketing department has logged onto Glassdoor in the past to post positive reviews of the company, so I would take some of the five star reviews with a grain of salt.

Pros

This company takes philanthropy seriously, and devotes a lot of time and energy into fun activities for the employees and providing a very beautiful work environment.

Cons

Managers are mostly family memebers or long time friends of the owner with no qualifications for their positions. These same people are often very petty and look for similar cultural or ideological backgrounds and are very disparaging of people who do not come from these.
