Pros

Awesome team (excluding "management"), you'll make some great friends

Cons

They have no idea what they're doing. They don't know how to manage a team and they don't know how to manage a business. President is supposed to be knowledgeable in marketing but he has no clue. Vice president has no people skills and does not know how to properly talk to her employees. They constantly change their minds about how they want things done and then get mad at you when you can't keep up with their ever-changing ideas. They're not organized. They pay their employees as little as they can get away with - that's why they hire people who are new to Canada or who have just graduated university. yet, they expect you to go above and beyond and work overtime and do more than your role calls for, but when you ask for a raise it's not warranted in their eyes.

Pros

The team was always great, the location is a big plus & you could tell upper management tried to build a nice company culture.

Cons

Too much work for the team, leaving them no time to grow as individuals or as a unit. The sales team has a thirst for more clients & sales but without a vision of the workload. An upper management team who was focused on the next dollar over the growth of their team. There was the intention of a strong company culture but in practice it fell short. In a few cases it seemed apparent the company was more willing to take advantage of those who worked & rarely said no to more. Finally, a CEO that seemingly spent more time going to the gym and promoting himself as a brand then the well being of his employees and the work they produced.

Great team members, little incentives and no growth opportunities.

Pros

Great team (for the most part). Interesting projects.

Cons

Salaries are below industry standards. No growth opportunities, your skills will be limited to the same task you have always done (Wordpress..). Assembly line development. No space for creativity. You are expected to work every minute of the day. Management is always focusing on negative feedback. Significant favouritism of incompetent employees. Focus on sales more than production. Often promoting people that lack basic skills. Frequent overtime, often with no pay. High turnover rate. Sales team and project managers do not understand the fundamentals of what they are selling / managing.
