Pros

- Some of the managers are nice and helpful - Some of the employees are also nice and helpful - Great place to gain experience right out of college

Cons

- The compensation is absolutely horrible, and not competitive in the industry (Do your research before committing) - It's like high school, there's lots of back stabbing and gossip - very toxic environment - Largely composed of recent college graduates, or people who are too comfortable to leave - CEO doesn't care about the employees, therefore retention is horrible. They would rather have people quit then give them a raise. This is why when people get advanced degrees or gain some experience they leave the company. - Lots of turn over in all departments, which makes getting you job done difficult. There's always someone new who doesn't know what they are doing. - Many of the people in management position aren't qualified. They have either been there forever, or are related to the CEO. - The benefits are a joke when compared to other companies. - Hardly any room for growth and career advancement. - The CEO doesn't show his face, unless it's to yell about something he isn't happy with.
