Pros

Since COVID, the ability to work remotely - something the President fought for years because he did not trust that anyone would be working if they weren't in the office but he has now relented for most workers

Cons

1. No work/life balance - your life belongs to your work - it does not matter if it is a holiday, you have schedule PTO, etc. - if the President wants you to work, you work 2. Lack of appreciation from the top - the President will let everyone know that "any monkey can do your job." 3. Everyone is dispensable - do not think for one second you cannot be replaced 4. Work harder, not smarter - the President is not interested in any process improvements unless he came up with them. 5. Salary not commensurate with industry standards 6. The mentality of doing whatever needs to be done and we'll fix it later 7. The President is also the sole owner so nothing happens at that company unless he approves. 8. The President has to be the smartest person in the room at all times. There is no one at that company who knows more about everything (from how to write proposals to how to secure a data center) in his mind. 9. Because of #8 the President is involved in every aspect of the company instead of trusting his management team to manage and direct. 10. Because of 1-9 there is high turnover with a constant need to train new people and bring them into the fold.

Pros

Not a whole lot to say. The are a software company and you write software. All of the ones I have worked at in Tampa Bay are pretty much small shops and all have a lot of issues while management thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread.

Cons

They really got me in the interview. They all drank the koolaid and I fell for it. Salaries are lower than the market. They don't keep pace as the market does. They make a whole lot of being part of a "family". I never felt so out of touch with co-workers. I never knew who anyone was if they weren't part of development. Health benefits aren't good or bad. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Almost every employer pays what they pay for your health insurance. PTO is OK, if you can get the time to take it. Telework needs improving. You're a technology company, writing software for crying out loud. If you didn't micromanage everyone and let them do their jobs maybe you would be OK with more telework. Paul Toomey though, can't seem to get that through his head. Bonus money is weird. It's a good way to not give bonus money out, Ask about it during your interview. Very flat management. There's you, a team lead, a manager then the owner. No room for advancement.
