Pros

If you like a "start-up environment" then this is the place for you. It's been a "start-up" for 15 years and hasn't changed much.

Cons

-Compensation is drastically uneven across the company. It's been said that the only way to get an increase is to show an offer letter from another employer -Leadership and promotions are based on "who's left" after the constant departures of staff -Meetings are unprofessional and have been downright hostile at times -the few long term employees (over 3 years tenure) are not valued and in most cases valued less than newly hired staff -the company never does annual reviews or disciplinary actions -CEO and COO are father/son and that often leads to an imbalance of power -favoritism is rampant -there are a lot of "plans" but nothing is ever executed -The company continues to chug along, but never really gains any momentum in an industry that is booming

Thanks for the feedback, it's not for everyone, the company grew new sales last year by over 200 percent and renewed 90 plus percent of our clients. Sorry it wasn't right for you, anonymous feedback will help us grow. Or you can call us to discuss where we dropped the ball, if you feel we are missing it, we need to know.

Pros

A job is better than no job? Employees are mostly all great people - who just need to escape from there.

Cons

Don't waste your time...wait for the right company to join. Jobscience will use you for every ounce of your time, energy, and more. CEO rules the company like a tyrant, instilling fear in employees with intimidation tactics (that he also tries to teach to any minion who is willing to play along), and he ultimately listens to no one but himself. Lacking a conscience, he treats people like dollar signs at most, giving them little value and respect both personally and professionally. Over the years, the company has probably committed every type of HR violation that exists, many times over (ironically for an HR software company). Jobscience employs the young and impressionable, so it's risky for them to speak up when they're already so severely underpaid. New managers and other C-level execs are often unable to work with CEO and eventually leave, but nothing changes with the core problem. Just don't even apply - you'll regret it eventually, if not in the first couple weeks or after the interview. At least one person has willingly left the company practically every week for the past few months. Apparently CEO goes on witch hunts and personally calls all his former employees to find out who writes these Glassdoor reviews! Absolutely pathetic. It seems unbelievable, but as you can see through all the other reviews - it's all true.
