Pros

There aren't really any pros of working hear besides the fact that my check never bounced....

Cons

Retrieve has been running in circles for the past two years. With nice improvements to the actual product, the management team still has no idea what they are doing. Everything is micromanaged to the exact words used in an email, and very talented sales people are pigeon holed by the CEO and his "vision". I do believe the company and software could be very useful, but nothing will develop as long as Dave Arnold is continuing to micromanage everything, and not willing to give up any control. All in all, there are some good people there who know what they are doing, but aren't allowed to do it, because Dave Arnold believes he has the answer for everything. The company needs a better, MORE EXPERIENCED, management team that is not comprised of the CEO, his son, and his sons two best friends. Also, HR doesn't exist here. So if you have a problem, just keep it to yourself or it might get you in trouble!
