Pros

1. there are some good people there (none of them managers). 2. listed on the site as a pro is bagel mondays (they don't order enough for everyone to get one) and catered lunches (only once a week and not enough food; subway, panda express) 3. an option to get receive free dental ($1500/year)

Cons

1. contracted temps and permanent staffs get treated visibly differently, even though you work along side them 2. managers micromanage and don't trust the employees 3. very high-school atmosphere (lots of cliques, lots of rumors, lots of goofing around) 4. no opportunity to grow and develop (once you have a position there, you are stuck) 5. no mentoring (even though managers say they are mentors) 6. always extending temps contracts (stringing them along for over a year) without compsensation 7. contracted temps and permanent staff gets paid the same (there are no benefits to becoming full time) 8. managers will listen to rumors about staff rather than get to know the staff person(s) 9. there are no raises, no employee reviews, no way of tracking progress (they will just tell the staff person you are not needed because you did not meet standards; but no one knew/knows what the standard was/is) 10. CEO plays favoritism among staff and departments 11. CEO and upper management does not listen to what employees have to say or what the needs are to improve the work culture 12. though company portrays itself as fun, modern, chic and elegant; behind the scene is unhappy workers and crowdsourced designers 13. CEO and "editorial team" always favors the same crowdsourced designers to keep them happy 14. HR is/was not educated in benefit policies and always deferred you to a phone number to call for help 15. HR kept only one copy of health benefits in the office and you couldn't take it home to study the options
