Pros

Great health, dental, visual insurance (almost free for employees); vacation starts from 120 hours per year; casual attire; free snacks and drinks; monthly bonuses (depending on the company's performance); all holidays are paid for; there is a tiny gym at the premises with a shower.

Cons

The company is very small (about 30 people); therefore, you will see the owner every day, who is the weirdest guy i have ever met: he would sing his bizarre songs, jump on you, crack unfunny inappropriate jokes and everyone will act like they enjoy it (when they actually don't). There are a lot of employees who have been with the company for almost 10 years. Those people don't learn anything new; radios that they sell are out of date and of a very bad quality. Technicians have to fix a lot of those under warranty. This company doesn't grow, sales are even decreasing; most of the employees don't have any degrees so they work there only because it's their last chance. Some managers don't know what they are doing, but they are great butt kissers, so the owner doesn't even see that this company needs to let some of those people go. The owner cares about loyalty and nothing else. While a person works there the owner treats them ok, the moment he or she is gone there will be a huge amount of dirt poured onto that person's head. Pay is SUPER low. Some employees didn't have pay increases for years! At the same time all the money that could have been invested in the business is being spent on the owner's private needs. It's impossible for the new sales associates to reach their personal sales plan because all the big customers are being distributed unequally between the old sales people. The owner thinks that everyone owes him because he allowed those people to work for him. Also forger about promotion, it doesn't exist here.

Pros

I am relatively new to the company but I am pleasantly surprised at how nice and helpful all of my coworkers are. It's never fun to be new with so much to learn but everyone works as a team and willing to teach. There are many long term employees, like 10+ years. Management is very supportive and casual. I chose to come in to the office for training but now am mostly remote, which is very nice. Owner is accessible and super friendly. There's also a full gym at the facility for employees to use.

Cons

Break room has a fancy coffee maker but no decaf.

Pros

Not only is a family environment but people really care for one another. I get to bring my dog to work which is a big plus for me. Being a small company gives you the opportunity of knowing everyone in the company and learn from them which turns you in to a more skilled person. Health insurance for me and my family is fully cover by the company. The company welcomes all the people willing to be a more knowledgeable and skilled person which will make the company grow even more. If you are a hard worker and your actual company don't see it, this will be your spot. Don't let the opportunity to shine go away and come work for a company that really appreciate your dedication and loyalty and take advantage of all the benefits we already enjoy.

Cons

There is one thing i don't like and that is the 45mins drive from Los Angeles to Harbor City. I hate driving on the 110freway.
