Pros

They have work! Although they get it by undercutting their fees and compromising all the people around them. The staff, other architecture firms and the families of their employees. The owner's are easy to dislike! Sure they give out an employee of the month $200 gift but it's based on "super performance" Another Pro is that they are always looking for new employees, although now they are having trouble that the economy is back. If you like meeting new people?.Bessolo's your place.

Cons

A Narcissistic Owner who is only surpassed in ego by his wife, the "CFO". The moral is terrible because the owners just want profit. Short schedules for production and mandatory overtime, which isn't legal. Yes, they took many people in during the downturn but they paid them poorly and over worked them and were more than happy to say, "we have a hundred resumes on file, so if your not happy, there is the door"

Pros

Location in downtown St Pete and a few of the co-workers

Cons

The 40+ unhappiest employees I've ever worked with. Folks were stressed out and were treated like children! A senior architect was yelled at on his first day for attempting to make folgers coffee all by himself. I saw 10 quit or be fired in the few months I worked there. They are crammed into a small space with huge piles of paper overflowing everywhere. It's a design firm that can't even take the time to look the part. Wow, I can't stress enough how glad I am that I did not stay very long.
