Life/Work balance is important.

Pros

Benefits are decent, definitely could be better though. People are great. Free bagels on Fridays.

Cons

No such thing as life/work balance, they just want you to work, work, work and work some more. I understand that this is a "startup" (it isn't really, it's been around for 7 years now) but people can't be treated like machines. Performance is very numbers based, and basically any hourly employee gets extremely screwed over here. Salaried employees get treated a little better, though barely. People that are paid based on commission/sales seem to be the happiest here, they essentially get to set their own schedules. If you're good at what you do, you'll never get a promotion because you're too essential.

Pros

Good health insurance and PTO

Cons

This place is like a dark dungeon with no natural light, poor air circulation, and bathrooms that flood and smell like decomposing bodies. The corporate culture is similar to that of high school but worse. There are very few in upper management positions that have actual experience to make them qualified. Don’t waste your time with this dump!
