Pros

No pros to this place. Worst place I have ever worked at.

Cons

Huge turnover of staff - they can not keep good people. They listen to your calls. Owner does not trust anyone, very negative and happy to talk down to people - very condescending in front of the team. Always blames someone if something goes wrong. Terrible culture as if owner is in - everyone is on edge and feels on "watch" so it difficult for the team to bond. Staff turn over is huge.

Pros

Build your OWN desk and OWN brand

Cons

I saw over 12 people come and go in the time that I was there. Incredible considering at one time there would only be 5-8 people. Far more than any business i have worked (12 months) Owner underpaid me Commission on a mistake that he made in an email agreeing new terms of work with a client. Owner can't accept responsibility for any of his own mistakes and wrong doings. Has a serious complex and Ego inflation.
