Pros

good benefits, company events, tuition reimbursement

Cons

rampant sexism, good ol' boy culture (cronyism), no job security (constant threat of being let go or fired), low pay compared to competitors, disorganized, serious disconnect between managers and survey techs, no vision (let go a large group of people because markets were not diversified and heavily focused on oil and gas), no loyalty to employees, high turn over rate

Management via fear, intimidation, and bullying

Pros

Nice little $25 gift card perks for employees

Cons

The owner of the company, who is a micromanager, is a rage-aholic. He screams, yells, and throws tantrums if he asks a question that you can't answer off the top of your head. He has refused to hire a real HR department because he doesn't want anyone telling him how he should treat his employees. People are set up for failure by the impossible expectations and lack of any kind of support for the general staff.
