Pros

Colleagues, we bond together to complain about one common goal

Cons

- Very small company (around 10 employees) - Everyone fears the director - No progression in the company, only favoritism - Unreasonable workload, be prepared to drown in work - Director and managers do not teach the staff at all - If you don't perform in one to two month, be prepared to get replaced. This explains the high turnover (Director and manager will speak in private and you will know your time is coming - No work life balance at all

Pros

Cheap lunches. Short commute time from most areas.

Cons

Company moves in constant circles. CEO has no clue about the American consumer, goes on incoherent ramblings, and does not add any value to the company. Some departments are growing while some are shrinking. Upper management goes on lavish trips while the company is trying to cut back. If you're reading this review, do not apply for an office position here. Two weeks after starting, you'll see how much of a mess the company is in and why the position was open in the first place. And those who didn't do proper job research probably deserve to work here. You'll never understand why things get done the ways that they do. It's just the 1985 way of life. Most positions pay significantly less than the national average.
