Pay is a little low.

I worked here for 7 years. Pros are it’s a hybrid schedule. You’ll make good short term friends. No formal dress code. A decent stepping stone, after a year, I have seen a lot of coworkers move on to larger and better companies.

Hard work is not consistently recognized or valued. I frequently worked during vacations and weekends to secure new business, yet extra effort often went unnoticed. Bonuses are unreliable, with factors beyond employees’ control influencing both their amount and timing. Despite meeting performance expectations, my bonus structure changed twice—each time becoming more restrictive. There is no HR department, meaning employees have no formal avenue for conflict resolution. Workplace issues must be handled independently, with little support from leadership. The company offers a stock option, but I have not listed it as a pro because, in my seven years, its value consistently declined. Unlike a traditional investment, employees do not have easy access to these funds, making it a viable benefit only for those who receive a substantial stock package upon hiring. Otherwise, independent investment would be a more secure option. New hires are often led to believe they can earn $80K after certification, but this is largely dependent on circumstances beyond their control and is unlikely to be achieved in practice. Over the course of seven years, I continuously took on additional responsibilities—ranging from expanding my core role to handling various tasks assigned at the president’s discretion. In my final months, I increased company performance metrics, worked more hours than the average employee, developed plans for website improvements, re-established licensing that generated tens of thousands in revenue, successfully managed multiple six-figure contracts, and consistently went above and beyond in my role. Despite my dedication, I was let go five days before Christmas. The official reason was a missed deadline on a project with multiple competing firms. However, for three weeks leading up to the deadline, I repeatedly requested meetings with the president—who was responsible for the technical proposal—to clarify submission requirements, but my requests were ignored. Then, at 5 PM two days before the deadline, I received a last-minute call with instructions to help the president prepare documents. Had leadership valued being organized, the submission could have been completed on time. Instead, the lack of planning resulted in chaos, and I was ultimately scapegoated. After seven years of service, my employment was abruptly terminated over a project the company would likely not have secured regardless.
