Pros

They have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere at the office. The hours are good and you won't ever stay really late. The work is interesting and ultimately rewarding when a big project is finished. The company was recently taken over by corporate and there is a lot of expansion across the company. They are becoming more organized and creating more opportunities for upward growth. There is a nice employee discount as and of right now, a nice paid "winter break" around Christmas time (might change).

Cons

Hiring/firing is very disorganized, they don't have an HR person. Trying to find out how many vacation days you have is always a hassle. There are some very high stress days where I come home absolutely exhausted, and not always a lot of recognition of your hard work or a job well done from upper management.

Pros

Many different categories and opportunities to learn Decent PTO 15 days after 1 year Summer Fridays (at will of leadership) I would recommend coming to this company at a senior level. I would not recommend working here longer then 2 or 3 years as an assistant or even an associate. The expectations are lower for new hires, especially at more senior levels, take advantage of it if you can.

Cons

Little to no job growth Barely any wage increase per year or through promotion Poor leadership Extremely Disorganized Toxic work place and management culture Poor work life balance with many teams expected to overtime with no extra pay
