Pros

good hours and no weekends

Cons

It could be a good place to work but the CEO is just a jerk and jerk is a nice way to say it. He has crazy mood swings and his mood effects the whole place so you never know if you are gonna have a miserable day or have an OK day. Everyone is happier when he doesn't show up. He plays favorites and if he doesn't like you everybody knows it. He's a micromanager but doesn't even understand everything he tries to micromanage. It makes it hard for people to do there job. He makes promises about raises and bonuses and then says he never made the promise. He is making millions of dollars hand over fist and it all goes right in his pocket. We never see any benefit from the our work that makes him rich. Theres a new racecar just sitting in our lobby. He has a new Ferrari. That's just the beginning. His rules about PTO are stupid and different than any other job, like he docks you two days for PTO if you take a day off before or after a holiday so he makes you use a PTO day for the day of the holiday and a PTO day for the other day off. Then when people get upset about that he sent an email saying that's because our customers expect us to work every day of the year but then he doesn't show up. Lots and lots of people quit pretty soon after they start and its because of the horrible CEO. I need a job so I stay but I hate it because of him more than I like it.

Pros

Working remotely for the last 6 years has been great. The company has seen tremendous growth and I think it is largely due to the tenure of employees, their deep historical knowledge, and the care they have to about the company and their teams.

Cons

This year people in the office got raises and those of us at home got skipped over completely. It's worth pointing out that most of the longest tenured employees are all working from home. The people who have been here the longest, know the most and have the most invested in this company are the ones getting passed over.
