Pros

The only real pros I can say is the downtown location and the small company atmosphere.

Cons

I honestly don't know where to begin on how unpleasant this company is. I’m mostly writing a review to help warn future potential employees of the owners abuse behavior. I wish someone would have warned me about this company before I accepted. It was a nightmare to say the least. This may not be a “typical” glass door review but to give the full effect of how awful this company and the owners are, here are some insights: 
I once read an email where the President of the company said cancer and pregnancy are “hillbilly”. How either of those things can be used in context of “hillbilly” is beyond me. This is probably where his unintelligence for anything other than brokerage sales derives from. You’re on call, 24/7 no matter what position you take there. They feel no remorse or sympathy for your personal time off. They will call you at one in the morning to ask a ridiculous/inadequate question you could have addressed when you got back from time off. They of course do this when they are intoxicated to a level where you can barely make out what they are saying. This goes along with emails you’ll receive on a Sunday afternoon that ask non-relevant questions. If you don’t respond within an hour, you’ll get another one in all caps saying something along the lines of “WHEN I SEND AN EMAIL, I WANT A RESPONSE (add swear words in this)”. This is their attitude and sense of entitlement at all times. I think they genuinely believe that because they had money handed to them by wealthy parents, started a business with it, you work for them, they ultimately own you and all of your time. You’re ill, feel awful and need a day to rest at home, not with this company. Also be expected to come into work even if the weather advisory is a level 3. Their desperation for money could get them into some trouble if an auditor were to take a deep look. I’m sure they have covered their tracks enough to hide the visits to strip clubs, bars, and various other “entertainment” venues off their tax write offs. - Vacation time is the worst out of any company I’ve ever worked for - Administrative pay is lower than average - Cussing, screaming, slamming doors - Complete dysfunction - No Room for growth - HIGH turnover - Boiler-room fear driven sales mentality - Inconsistent standards - No guidance or help

Pros

The office is in a good area of the city and building amenities are nice.

Cons

This company and the entirety of its management is completely unprofessional. Managers will only help you when it is convenient to them, miss scheduled meetings without notice, or be absent for weeks at a time. Manager turnover is high and you are left to figure things out for yourself a good majority of the time. There is no work from home option and they online provide 10 days of PTO and 0 sick days. Most people, management included, will come in sick to save their vacation days and get others sick in the process. The only time a work from home option was provided was when a former employee posed an extremely dangerous threat to the office and police had to guard the building. Even then, the option to work in office was available. Racism and sexism are prevalent throughout the company. Minorities are the first to be placed on performance improvement plans on tracks to be fired, while others with equal or even lower performance are not. Women are frequent targets of baseless accusations made by trainers and upper management, making it an incredibly hostile environment to work in.
