Pros

Very supportive of staff and clients. Willing to train and increase employee knowledge. Can't say enough good things about this company. Way more pro's than con's. I went out with major health issue, and they held my job. Not many employers would do that. Provide their employees with snacks/drinks all day. They provide employee's with lunch every Thursday (Crock-pot Thursdays). They go above and beyond for clients and their employee's. Environment is very friendly, supportive and welcoming. I truly am enjoying watching this company grow! I can't wait to see the future and how big they make this. They have grown so much since I have started.

Cons

There isn't a Captain in the Marketing room anymore. There should be a temp captain until the spot is filled. Also, the captain's meeting should be the captain and one fellow employee from department (if enough people in department) rotate the employee's. Sometimes people have good advice to bring to the table or may think or help with ideas in the meeting but maybe not. Could help to keep more people in the loop of on-goings or struggles/issues.

It's great to hear your experience. The idea for the captains meeting is something we will discuss in the next one. We do plan on having more regular staff meetings. We just have to figure out where to do them as not everyone fits in the conference room at once anymore! Good problem to have! We could always all go out to eat and have them there ;)

Pros

My coworkers are very passionate and have taught me alot, company lunches on Thursdays, free snacks, coffee, drinks, bagels, I get to create my own schedule with no micromanagement from my boss, vacation time, health insurance/dental compensation, we can also bring our dogs and cats to work, when I have an issue or an idea I'd like to suggest my management team listens to me and respects me

Cons

I've got nothing to say here

Pros

- Experience was not required to get a position. - The job experience got me a new, better job. - The people I worked with were great (minus the "CEO"/owner). - I usually never had to do overtime, even though I was "on call 24/7" without accepting to be on call all the time.

Cons

Pretty much everything. The compensation was bad and did not nearly fit the required job responsibilities. The stress was crazy high along with the work load. Promises were not the only thing broken; the culture was in need of extreme improvement despite the people being great.

Experience is required to get the job. We've never hired a software developer without experience and them knowing how to code. We have no training program to teach someone to be coder. So, this is obviously not true. While we appreciate feedback, and always address concerns when warranted. In your specific case we do not agree with your assessment. Good luck with everything!
