Pros

Clean, modern building, eco friendly. Good coffee, nice atmosphere.

Cons

It's the kind of place where they would prefer you to email them with a question even if you are right beside the person you're speaking with. No noise, rigid rules about everything, they don't hire janitors and instead have their qualified staff clean the place from top to bottom daily. One manager in particular is very melodramatic, everytime something happens that she doesn't approve of, three employees rush into her office to have a meeting about it, this goes on constantly. I've never witnessed micromanaging on this level before. Family is very odd, vegan lifestyle is pushed on you from the start, new employees are treated in a demeaning manner by young staff, very little training then thrown into the most intense workload, expected to stay after hours daily and not to make any mistakes. The entire family eats together ignoring the rest of the staff, they encourage employees whom they can control and get rid of any who stand up to their policies or inconsistencies. If you aren't open to the vegan lifestyle don't even bother!

Pros

- Comfortable and wonderful office space - Generous cash bonuses and gifts from owners (even trips to California & Hawaii with our families paid for) - Organic fruit delivery weekly + great organic loose leaf tea, espresso & coffee with all fixings provided - Paid fitness breaks at the private on-site gym several times a week, and they hire a personal trainer for their staff (the owners pay for this!) - The health benefits provided are top of the line - Psychologist assessment during second or third interview; a really great idea for a small company! It shows they don't want just anyone working with their team. However, I think she has since stopped doing this job for the company - Wages are fairly decent, but could certainly be better for the stresses of the job and atmosphere - The owners really do have good hearts deep down

Cons

- Extreme micromanaging - Workload is many times quite heavy; therefore you are either staying late (which you are asked not to do, because they don't like paying overtime), so you are rushed into finishing for deadlines and then the likelihood of errors increase which are not tolerated at all. Perfection is expected, but impossible to live up to. - Vegan/vegetarian management judging non-veggies in the office negatively, and occasionally scolding those who bring in "smelly" non-veggie food - Janitorial chores weekly (daily for some employees lower on the totem pole) - Indoor cameras. I don't understand the need for these? 13-15 people work here, nearly half of which are family members. Where's the trust? - Ex-employee criticizing - Wipe your feet, and use your library voice...or get chastised. - As another reviewer wrote; the expectation to be at your workstation on time (or early), but no direct recognition for overtime. Reprimanded if you are even 2 or 3 minutes late sitting down with your face into work. - I could go on with more detailed points, but many are with regards to one or two individuals of management, which is not allowed on this site. I now know what kind of manager I cannot work for, and what kind of manager I will never be.

Pros

Benefits: fitness benefit with personal trainer, extended health and dental, beautiful building.

Cons

Strange environment: must pass psychological exam, if you don't fit their mould (vegan/vegetarian, quiet, passive, ass-kisser) you're out!
