Pros

You will gain knowledge in your specialty and learn how to work in a toxic environment

Cons

Management generally knowledgeable in their area but incompetent at managing and motivating teams. No one out to help you-- more like throw you under the bus mentality. Little groups keep to themselves. Mean spirited people. Do not sell yourself short working here. Not a positive team building environment. Everyone's out for themselves. Managers just don't care-- only interested in bottom line. Do not sell yourself short or if you do prepare to leave soon after you arrive. Phony people; horrible environment. Definition of cliquee. Absolutely no encouragement. Company selects a few star employees every month which only serves to polarize groups and create a phony environment. Did I mention managers (90%) are incompetent? They will not serve you well but rather bring you down-- that goes for Directors too. Stay away!!!

Pros

-Free soda and snacks -Flexible working hours -Excellent work/life balance: everyone comes in late and leaves early

Cons

-No opportunity for advancement: when I had been at Taxware for about a year I asked my boss what my next career steps were at the company. He laughed in my face. -Workers are ignorant and apathetic: people come in between 8:30 and 9, take an hour to two hour lunch, and then are out the door at 5 on the dot. Workers regularly sleep at their desks with no repercussions from management. -Salaries are abysmal: I was in the 3rd percentile for my position, controlled for experience. Raises are negligible. -Turnover is extraordinarily high: college grads stay long enough to acquire skills and then leave for a more challenging and profitable job. Because knowledge and skills leave the company at such a rapid pace, it's hard to work on long term projects across departments. -Serious disconnect between execs and the workers: because execs are so highly paid, they seem oblivious to the dismal salaries and dearth of opportunities for entry- and mid-level employees.
