Provided a wonderful reference and stepping stone into a real career, and very little else

Pros

Direct management was wonderful. Great immediate team culture. Provided experience necessary to developing a real career.

Cons

Very little growth potential. Pay was grossly below industry expectations. Poor company culture. Employees viewed as potential problems to be controlled rather than assets to be cultivated. Was directly asked by executive leadership to participate in actions that violated customer privacy permissions and Federal Trade Commission laws. No budget to acquire tools or programs to effectively and efficiently perform job. Even the paperclips are kept under lock and key. Tends to hire the cheapest employees, not the best employees, which creates an atmosphere and expectation of mediocracy.

Pros

Great Experience. They put you in roles where you get to wear a lot of hats and have decision making power. It is a great place to build experience and the environment is fun. People were great, good experience. The company is now under new management as they were bought out by a huge company but when I was there the senior management had a real open door policy. When you needed to talk to the CEO all you had to do was go knock on his door and he would make time.

Cons

Pay was below market rates and raises were based more on tenure than on merit.

Pros

Working on the software development side you get to work on a lot of interesting projects. Short life cycles for projects means your never stuck on one thing for long. Positive friendly team members who are always available to help no matter the task.

Cons

Entry level pay starts low. After a couple of years though it's possible to be at or above industry average.
