Pros

I can't say enough good things about the people I worked with day-to-day - everyone is extremely hard working, talented and fun. Benefits were good too.

Cons

I echo the previous reviews - highest level leadership is terrible, no discernible company direction, and horrible communication. On more than a few occasions, very key high level people were let go and employees weren't even sent an email - these employees just disappeared and the rest of the employees heard about it through the rumour mill. Also - HR implemented a performance review system where employees were only eligible for promotions twice in the year. How about promoting people when they deserve it and not waiting for the eligible promotion dates to arrive? Very bureaucratic and does not put people first.

Pros

Nice coworkers usually. Wants to be good.

Cons

This place has no money. They fire people all the time because they can’t afford them. Too many successful businesses in the area to settle.It’s not the right area for them.
