Pros

Job was very flexible, didn't have issues requesting time off or coming in late/leaving early when things came up.

Cons

This company does not pay market value on any of their positions. It's a common theme throughout the workforce. No room for growth, and a lot of times you'll get blocked from transferring to a vacant internal position even if you're qualified for the job. Favoritism runs rampant due to the good ole boy environment. The real people who make this company run gets overlooked, while the fakers get all the praise.

Pros

The location is close to 85.

Cons

Despicable culture! Private company only required to report taxes. They can say and do whatever they want because they can. There is no regard or respect for the staff - referred to as "minions in cubes" by management. There are no growth paths, only the path they want for you. Annual assessments are not even based on performance, supervisors do not know or care what their people are doing. The culture is the more you do the more you get, the less you do the less you get. Health benefits are worse than horrendous. Air conditioning is turned off on weekends and other random evenings in hot Atlanta weather, employees are expected to work in 83-85 degree temperatures regularly in the summer months. while management thinks they might be saving money. Most management and CFO does not communicate with the "minions." There is no reward for exceptional performance and conversely no consequences for sub standard work or very little work. They continue to acquire companies and require some employees to take on more and more responsibilities. If you happen to speak up regarding the heavy workload your told you can leave. There is virtually no HR, they only manage benefits and the senior manager is a crony of the owners. Very difficult to navigate in this horrible culture.

Pros

it is steady work, 40 hours a week, can't think of anything else

Cons

you don't get paid what you are worth, management looks down on you even when you are more qualified than they are, management wants all the power therefore they treat you like children in grade school, not very flexible with time when it comes to hourly workers. the morale is extremely low in the workplace and they frown upon people that try to make the place bearable to work in.
