Pros

Average salary with decent benefits. Middle of the way for what is offered. Excellent profit sharing when times are good. Use the 401k match as it will grow. Above average capability of people. You learn a lot very quickly. Everybody is willing to help and that is a great culture to work in.

Cons

Top heavy. Employees are not valued for their overall contribution but for their isolated contributions. Long hours at times. Have had to put in long hours at times, and seen others put in even longer hours. There is very little diversity. When I started it was minuscule, but it improved a little over time. The biggest problem is the area, small industrial town in white america. Philly and NY are close, but not for a daily commute.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
