Pros

Some of the people are interesting and intelligent. You will learn a ton about PHP, SQL, web development and many other things in general. You will learn here, no doubt about that. Eventually you can do quite a bit of overtime if you want. You can come in late sometimes, just make up for it later. Raises will come in time if you show you are capable. But usually only if you are an essential employee.

Cons

One or two of the "managers" are incredibly rude and will scream at you at the drop of the hat for no reason. I was once brought into the conference room with a few others and screamed at for doing something small incorrectly, when I had had absolutely no training on how to handle this tiny task. It reminded me of a Hitler speech, especially the pounding on the desk. The expectations as a developer are sometimes INSANE, and this can not be over-emphasized. With zero training, you are expected to somehow learn the incredibly old, overly-complex, and terribly programmed software within about a week. The one and only boss will give you a project which will likely take 40 hours to complete if coded correctly, documented, and tested. He will say it should have only taken 3 to 4 hours. There is no consideration here for how long projects truly take to complete. Bosses don't have a programming background. Also, no paid lunches, no breaks, 9.5 hour days and 47.5 hour weeks if you include the unpaid lunches. Bosses don't care if you use drugs on your free time, which I guess shows they can be somewhat relaxed about certain things. This place will make you want to use drugs anyways.

You can do better than this place.

Pros

It’s a job. And most of the other employees are nice. The wife of the owner tries to do “fun” office things. Like food for the holidays they make you work on.

Cons

Some projects take days to finish but are told by management it should have only taken a few hours. HR is one of the rudest, most miserable person I’ve met. The benefits could be a lot better as could the communication throughout the office.

Pros

Get to learn a lot about PHP and MYSQL as well as other tools since you are given almost no direction at all when working on projects.

Cons

Zero Management, The owner thinks he knows everything but has had no training on the topics hes talking about. Call you to work even when they have known weeks in advance you were leaving the area. No respect for work life balance expecting you to work 50 hours a week with unpaid lunches and no breaks.
