Pros

On site Clinic. Some great people work there.

Cons

Upper management - out of touch, uncaring, only worried about themselves. Old management from a couple of years ago was good. This new bunch got rid of them all and hired their friends. They got rid of over 200 temporary employees in Dec and just laid off 75 full time employees - some with years of experience. They are several months behind on accounts payable. The company is very poorly managed and a lot of great employees and customers suffer because of it.

Pros

Fellow coworkers were fabulous and amazing people. Pay met the minimum requirements for the area and positions. Benefits were good and it was nice to have 4 bonuses a year. Product is fun and one of the best in the market, but still needing improvement.

Cons

Owner of the company makes it miserable. Not all positions require working with this individual but if it does don't work there. You will work in fear for your job. Which is the most unhealthy environment to be in for your career. He also has little minions running around doing his dirty work like recording conversations and spying. Literally. He is notorious for getting talented people fired. He is stuck in the 70s and thinks the company needs no improvement. Then fires the ones who help in succeed. He also does bad business with vendors and tries to manipulate contracts and basically steal money from them. Your integrity will falter knowing what goes on inside those walls.

Pros

Company is doing well financially, bonuses can be fairly good. As long as you're not on the Marketing team, you'll probably like it there.

Cons

The owner Tom Dickson has a strong dislike for anything marketing related. If sales go up he believes it's the Sales Department and nothing to do with the Marketing team. He distrusts marketing so much that he replaces marketing directors and marketing teams on a yearly basis. If you're looking for a marketing job, don't look here. This includes the creative team. There's little direction and leadership on the creative team and because the environment is so toxic within marketing, there's little room for actual creativity.
