Pros

The company has great people working there that know how to do their job and given the environment are able to do their job under high pressure. The product itself is both interesting and fun to work with.

Cons

The owner makes it very hard to do your job. He is the only one allowed to do anyone's job. Everyone has to get his final say on something and even if it's completely right he will often change something that is unnecessary simply so he can say it's his. There is only one employee at PureEdge and that is the owner. Everyone else are his do-it people. Because of this, it bottlenecks the work. It sets everyone's work behind because they are waiting on his approval. I've literally seen lines outside his door, of people waiting just to get a yes or no so they can move on to their other work that by this time is way behind. Don't get me wrong, he is a brilliant man who knows the industry but he is also a stubborn person and the most difficult person I have ever worked with. Turnover rate is absurdly high. Many good employees are pushed out or quit simply cause they can not work with him.

Pros

Locations Lincoln Park and Skokie People you work with. You learn good and sound information in regards to lighting and lighting controls.

Cons

Pay is absurd, it's like prying teeth. Yearly reviews are a joke, never any talk of a raise and bringing it up will cost you a good ten to fifteen minutes of you getting told why it won't happen and then your manager making a joke of it. CEO. How to explain him, JEKYLL AND HYDE!!!! He has no management experience when it comes to people. He will make sure to tell you that he is the only one who can make a decision and that anything you do is ALWAYS wrong. No growth. You will be put in a position for years and years with no possibility of growing into anything. Turnover is atrocious. Managers and VP's have no say so, it's either the CEO's way or the highway.
