Pros

The pay check and occasional bonuses.

Cons

Upper management is lost and confused as to why employees keep quitting, some quitting without jobs lined and its because they fail to see the issues within the company. The owner and his sister makes it very difficult for upper management to do their job, causing one of the main guys in upper management to quit without a notice. Upper management is just figure heads that cannot do much more even if they tried to. They encourage new ideas, and structure, but they don't follow any of it and if you follow it, you will lose your job. This place also plays a lot of favoritism, so beware. In the tech team, there are a lot of knowledge hogs that will not share information that will allow you to do your job. It makes it very difficult for the whole team. And lastly, the clients are all friends of the owner, so they will send incorrect information to the owner and then it turns into mass chaos and a "he said, she said" situation every time. This place is a revolving door and I've seen seven people quit/get fired since my short employment there (this is a small company so this is a lot of people), and as soon as they hire someone, the next person quits or gets terminated. You cannot make this place a career, it is short term work until you find something else. This place will require you to work all hours of the day, before your shift and after your shift. Be careful in choosing it.

Pros

In a lot of other IT companies, working somewhere and providing services is nothing more than a job to pay the bills. At SeedSpark, everyone on the team genuinely wants to find the "why" behind every action and find the best solution for each situation with every single client. It's great to be a part of a team that takes seriously the idea of providing value to the people and businesses that trust our team to find the right solution for them. From a culture standpoint, the team is focused but laid back. Lunches in the break room are always a relaxing break during the day, occasionally with playing some games on the Switch or throwing a round of darts. Company events are always a blast regardless of where they are - hands down, this is the best place I've worked!

Cons

There aren't many cons that come to mind when it comes to SeedSpark. Communication can often be finicky from time to time between team members and management, but being vocal about your needs and contacting people directly via Teams can take care of much of the confusion.

Pros

There are absolutely NONE to be pointed out.

Cons

Management will say one thing and do another. There is absolutely directive from management from day 1. You are "thrown to the wolves" on day 1 and then blamed when you don't know what you are doing. The billing requirements are ridiculous. It is non-stop and will wear you down FAST. And to top it off, there is a weekly 'All Hands' meeting every week with all sorts of corporate fads, pointless talking points and idolizing Disney - one of the worst companies to pattern your business after.
