Pros

There's absolutely none at all.

Cons

Salary: Minimum wage, no benefits, no OT pay. One coworker didn't get paid the amount she was told. Parking: No parking. You have to try to find a spot in the tiny, busy parking lot (4-hour limit & most are reserved), change spots every 4 hours or get ticketed. Unless you pay for parking for 8 hours. Workplace Condition: You must bring your own personal laptop to work. 8 hours/ day, 40 hours/week. They don't provide work equipment at all. Which means that all company and client files are stored in your personal laptop. Don't even expect pen and paper. Bring your own. Lunchroom? None. Microwave? None. Water machine? None. This is a very small company. 6 employees. Boss, manager, and accountant are related. Five employees (including the boss) are stuffed in a tiny 15ft x 15ft room. Everybody can see and hear what everybody else is doing. Culture: No training provided. Expected to start and finish multiple projects as quickly as possible. If you are slow (according to their standards), the boss will yell at you in front of everybody in that tiny room and announce that they didn't pay you $xx for nothing. (Yep, yelling your wage in front of everyone.) Everyday at the end of the day you have to submit a report on what you have done that day "for legal reasons so that the clients know we really are working on their projects". During the interview the boss said I could work from home and come in whenever I want as long as I finish my projects on time. I did that for a week and the manager scolded me for being late everyday. I told her what the boss had said and she dismissed it, saying everyone starts at 10. I didn't get paid for working at home. Not only did the boss not clear things up, he denied what he had said and sided with the manager. There are too many horrible experiences to list. I see them post new postings from time to time and I just want to give job seekers a heads up. Don't waste your time here and don't let yourself undergo such terrible treatment.

Pros

You will be motivated to seek better job than this.

Cons

First of all, the pay was horrible. We were paid only minimum wage per hour. Second, don't expect training to be provided. The company expect you to be able to handle a huge project overnight. The company did not train us at all. What the management team did was only complaining and scolding all of the staff when we did not "perform like the way they expected" under the circumstances of: no clear deadline given, minimal/no instruction given, no plan details were clearly communicated, and basically we were told to just finish the big project without letting us know what the project really is before we begin (even though we asked multiple times for clarifications and details). Thirdly, be expected to do wear multiple hats and take up multiple tasks/projects from different areas. Keep the minimum pay in mind. Last but not least, this is the worst company I've worked in with the worst management. I know one co-worker were not reimbursed for the gas fees for doing errands for the company. All of us were not paid when working over-time when the company expected to do so. I will not work for this company ever again.

Pros

Zero positives about this company... but I had met some great co-workers while working here.

Cons

- Tells you to treat the company like "family", but management will go out of the way to treat you like garbage. Hypocrites of the highest order. - Zero potential to improve your career if you work here, no room for growth and unrealistic work expectations for paying minimum wage. - Company is cheap and works with even cheaper clients, you are basically slave labour catering to their every whim. - Management will take advantage of you at every opportunity, especially if you are on a work visa/co-op program, they are a VERY shady operation. - Management will also make sure to talk behind your back... they will tell you to your face that you are "not like the others" (your other co-workers), and that you're smarter than them and the "others" are stupid. Except they say the same thing to every employee... nice try.
