Pros

There are no pros of working here.

Cons

The stand-in CEO (Don Fornes) is destroying the company. He is egotistical, quick to let people go, and will fire even the hardest workers on a whim. There is absolutely no job security here, so if you decide to take a job just remember you are just a number.

Pros

- Excellent Leadership - Focussed Business Strategy - Upward Mobility within Company - Unlimited PTO - Company Culture Defined by Supportive Employees and Hard Work

Cons

This is a small company looking to grow. It requires a lot of grit and hard work. If you're just looking for a simple 9-5, this company probably won't be for you.

Pros

This is a good company for someone who wants to waste their days away in a cold, dreary office with negative executives who constantly belittle their employees in the name of 'intensity'... Really good comp.. or it was, atleast. I'm pretty sure they've gotten worse since I left. Money isn't worth misery

Cons

Long work days - they expect you to work well past 5 PM and publicly shame if you don't They are revenue driven in the worst way They let people go constantly with very little insight into why - I left on my own, but know of multiple people who were cut off cold turkey for very little reason besides budget and reorg The CEO bullies and belittles employees constantly - and it WAY too involved in sales/engineering. Doesn't let the VPs do their job properly and confuses employees with back and forth If you value your personal life, I'd steer very clear of this place
