Pros

The clients are appreciative when you can help them. Coworkers are fun and hardworking. Love any technology that helps the gaming community and small businesses.

Cons

The lack of respect of women in the work place is noticeable, but I don't think that men and women are treated differently. There is fair treatment to everyone that makes time for family or friends. They are excluded from the leadership/management team which management refers as "not completely bought in". There is a leadership disconnect to employees but in general there is a disconnect from leadership to reality. To solve these disconnects, there has been many attempts to micromanage large scale projects. In defense to the company, the CEO created the company while in college and never worked for another job. I do believe leadership wants everyone to succeed, they just don't have the professional or personnel skills to succeed themselves. The clients are great and dependent on the software, I hope the company can pull it together for the sake of the clients.

Pros

My experience thus far at CrystalCommerce has been quite rewarding. I've found that if you work hard and show initiative, the company will reward you and invest in your future. The atmosphere is not like your typical office job, so if you are used to a more strict and structured environment this may not be for you. The company is quite young and the coworkers are all very pleasant to be around. Everybody seems to get along well and things like company lunches, game nights and Holiday parties help foster the positive relationships with each other. The pay at the company is fair and the benefits are getting better all the time. There is a lot of work to do still, but Dan has never had any issue investing in employees, whether it be buying lunches, cool gadgets, gifts during the Holidays, or gift cards. All in all, for somebody just starting their career this is a great opportunity to learn some new skills and help out small businesses in the game and hobby industry.

Cons

There is some disorganization within the company and a lot of work needs to be done to add structure and discipline. This isn't abnormal for a company so young. There needs to be more focus. Lots of things going on at once and it can lead to some getting a little disorganized and frustrated.
