Pros

The lower level people and managers are great, innovative thinkers who create a supportive environment to work for. Used to have a good benefits package, but as of January 2023 have cut off employer matches for 401k, but insurance is still good.

Cons

Starting in November 2022, they've laid off about 50 people (already a small company to start-- maybe 200 ees) and have given extensive extra tasks to the employees left. However, they've promoted about 7 people all of which are men, and have given no plans of how they're going to get themselves out of the 13m debt they've acquired. The founder and owner of the company is now the acting CEO (not listed correctly on Glassdoor), though his tyrannical and manic behavior is more well-suited for a mental institution than a work place as he seems much too comfortable using verbal abuse-- and in one case physical abuse-- tactics to get his employees in line. They have decided they are looking to go public soon, however have given no specific plans on how this will happen, as it seems the leadership is just floundering around trying to figure out their right hand from their left. They currently have had to halt their installations since they aren't able to get materials necessary due to the high invoices owed to their suppliers. Extremely toxic work environment.

Pros

There was opportunity to make bonuses and the work culture was very free and supportive. They provide a computer to do your work and online phone. There was also the ability to try a new job if you were interested.

Cons

Lots of calling and looking at a computer screen.
