Pros

In comparison to other companies, there really aren't any pros to working here.

Cons

Below-average salaries, crummy benefits, less PTO than what's offered by comparable employers, no bonuses or other perks. They'll expect you to do whatever it takes to keep projects on track (eg, work 60-70 hours/week for 3 months), but they won't provide anything in return (no bonuses, no extra time-off, no salary increases). They make no efforts in career advancement, cross-training, etc.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Cons

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
