Pros

Great learning opportunity for junior and out of college developers.

Cons

Failed to communicate, lack of support and vision. Legacy integration is required. Development methodology does not exist. With a dev team of 3 people, this is not an anonymous review. So with that in mind, I will try to be fair. The reality was all applications required 2 to 4 weeks max to finish. Most of the work was really, JIT. Most of the work did not have a clear vision of how it would integrate in the future. Many projects lacked the required support and determination. Projects routinely stopped and started. Many applications did not go to production. Lack of hardware support (no dev machine, not test machine). Lack of best practices.

Cons

Unless you own the franchise, you will be paid poorly. Period. The design of the system itself ties you to a commission rate, but don't be fooled. You will see how much revenue you make the boss and in the end, you earn very little of what you make. 6-day work week + Holidays. No Vacation. No Benefits.
