Pros

The pros of working here are you get to work for free! Even after months and months of freelance work! Another awesome pro is that because of THEIR lack of communication between eachother they'll ambush you on three way calls and harass you with emails once they finally decide to reply to emails after three weeks! And the best part, they all treat you like it's YOUR FAULT, and you don't get paid!!

Cons

The cons are they don't know how to file taxes correctly for freelancers. They make freelancers work hourly for pay rates THEY choose. I learned that's not how it works, so if you're not aware of how freelancers NEED to do business this company will 1000% be happy to take full advantage of you and not care at all. Ask the man in charge of this mess, he's a "lawyer" so he 100% knew the right way to go about things and yet, chose to lie, cheat, and steal my time instead.

Pros

Nice atmosphere, kind employees, free coffee... I enjoyed some of my time working here, and I feel like the people are basically very cool. I had an enjoyable time interacting with the customers, and also, some of the employees were very kind and consistent.

Cons

Very chaotic management style, schedule mess, terrible training, inconsistency among employees ways of doing things, hurtful and attacking feedback style. The inability to rely on almost any consistency in the management was very difficult for me while working here. I was cursed at by management, and treated as if I were an idiot, when I didn't know how to do things I was NEVER trained to do. This was the theme of my time at Java Detour, and I unfortunately wouldn't suggest this workplace to anyone I am friends with.
