Pros

This was my first job after college and it was a good starting point. I wouldn't recommend staying at this company for more than 1-2 years (even that was too long) Pros include relaxed dress code, work from home capability, and a resume builder.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. The head honcho at the Warwick, RI office is rude, power-hungry, manipulative, and lacks social skills and, frankly, management skills. She spends most of the day talking about her personal life, seeking attention from certain male employees, and patronizing everyone else. Employees are encouraged to work overtime (while on an extremely low salary without extra pay) and are told they will be rewarded "in time" which never comes to fruition. In two years I received one raise that I believe was around 3% and was expected to be overly grateful for this treat. If I did the math to find out how much money I was making hourly with the extra time put in, it would certainly be below minimum wage. Morale is constantly low and management tries to improve this by making us participate in dumb activities that are a waste of our time. Turnover is constant yet no one seems to understand that upping the salaries of current employees is a better system than constantly hiring new college grads to fill the shoes of those who are smart enough to get out.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
