Pros

Only pro I could see is that they hire under qualified people so if you are looking to get into the industry take the job as a stepping stone since they will hire you.

Cons

The company expects you to be available at all hours all days of the week. I sat through a company meeting where they had a powerpoint slide with the "fifteen minute rule" which essentially said you need to respond to all emails or correspondence within 15 minutes of receiving that email regardless of time of day or weekends/holidays. They used the owner of the company as an example saying "if she responds to all emails in 15 minutes so should you". No real respect for work life balance. I was asked the week of if I could reschedule or work through a week long vacation that I had planned for months in advance. Management does not have any real concrete ways to help balance out the workloads. Regularly I would be given projects that another project manager started and wasted weeks not managing it properly which I would have to pick up the pieces and make happen in a compressed time frame. Also it looks like the positive reviews recently all happened around the same day so those might be fake reviews done by SET rather than actual employees.

Pros

Pay is on the higher side but the lack of profit sharing is a big con for a company this size.

No profit sharing. Benefits could be more robust.
