Pros

You get to tell people that you work in video games, I guess...

Cons

The management is not only disrespectful, terrible and inept but also incredibly sketchy in how they run their business. They lie to employees about job duties upon hiring, they lie about pay incentives that never come and they quickly turned what could have been a cool startup into a glorified slave ship. Micro managing and loud outbursts daily from all of the "owners" of the company and they would quickly switch to another language whenever discussing the business. This company is built on lies and is run by a man, Jon, who knows nothing about the industry he is attempting to run a business in. It's actually sad. They never give you pay stubs, routinely skimp you on your paycheck which is just direct deposited each week, encourage employees to skip breaks and meals and repeatedly encourage sexually offensive language and actions. It only gets worse from there.
