Pros

The employees themselves are a great group of people, not including management or upper management. The management team does a very good job at making you feel like there is no life outside of NOW. The HR department is less than helpful or friendly. If you ever need to approach them about anything they have a very cold attitude so as long as you are one of the poor employees that have been backed into a corner with no place left to turn try to avoid seeking their counsel. Sometimes on Thursdays they will give you a piece of organic fruit to show you how much they care, oh and the quarterly bonuses, which they try really hard to find ways to decrease, makes up for the low base pay they pay you from the get go. Awesome!

Cons

Don't ever count on getting a good raise when it comes to review time. Most managers there will save all their negative feelings for that moment they finally take to sit down with you and hold every single thing they can against you. There is no coaching, there are many promises made that are continuously broken and a common feeling among the employees is fear. Another thing that feels awful there is the obvious favoritism among management and particular employees. Religion constantly comes into play and the company really seems to frown upon people that don't agree with their philosophies. The occasional bad mouthing about other employees or making fun of people directly out of middle management's mouths happens regularly. There is a ton of hypocrisy and no room for thinking outside the NOW box. There is no room to grow or advance... EVER and they have the tendency to hire people related to their "favorite" people. If you want to follow the sheep and start following the backside of some managers rear end then get ready and pucker those lips of yours and keep those fingers crossed. In 6 to 7 years you might move up in the company. Maybe. If you pray hard enough to the NOW gods.

Pros

Overall friendly coworkers . Slightly above average benefits if you include bonus. Nice 401k match. Rather calm environment if you mind your own business.

Cons

Hot tempered CEO who is convinced his greatness made the company. He tends to forget about all the hardworking employees. HR does his bidding and head of HR is never around. Change is not viewed positively. Company thrives on gossip and rose colored glasses. Always behind on hiring and turnover is much higher than most companies. No transparency.
