Pros

No true "responsibilities." The people made it fun. The facility was nice before they got evicted and moved to the "sister company's" building across the street, which in all actuality was another cover-up company.

Cons

Pay -- They pay you 1/2 of what the market value is for your position, and they never pay on time. Forget about Direct Deposit. At least once a month, a mass email will be sent claiming there are issues with the financial system and employees will receive "hard checks." Job Security -- Longevity? Forget it. You're there for maybe 3 months before you get canned. Benefits -- 90 day probation period? Please, you may not even make it there that long. Lies -- They try to sell you on their company business when in actuality, they are incredibly shady and thrive off of a single contract Workload -- The work given to you is clearly "busy work." There isn't much going on pipeline wise (incoming contracts). Management -- Management clearly is unprofessional. They base every decision off of emotions Growth -- No growth at this company whatsoever.

Pros

They sometimes overpay in salary. Other than that there are no pros.

Cons

They sometimes bounce your paychecks. Money disappears from the company regularly and employees are made to suffer. The don't pay their bills so things like health benefits and office space get cancelled. In short, if you work here be prepared for things to go wrong, as they most surely will...

Pros

They sometimes overpay in salary when they are desperate to attract the talent they need in order to not be in breach of contract. Other than that there are no pros.

Cons

Pays salaries half of the market rate. Many, many times, payroll was paid late. The company became insolvent as of April 15, 2013 and has been 55 days late making payroll. Twice Medical Benefits were cancelled and re-instated a month later. Must document everything that goes on (through email) because the company either FORCES you to quit or MANUFACTURES a reason for firing personnel so they avoid paying unemployment. The company is nothing but smoke and mirrors. There is no one there to perform the capabilities they claim to have on their website. There are no in-house SME’s. All SME’s are gotten from the outside and sometimes never get paid for services rendered. Notoriously known for not paying bills on time, if at all, including utilities, leases, and other services for operations. The company is "mis-managed" by absentee Upper Management. “No management, no leadership, zero experience, smoke and mirrors” are valid statements. Will retaliate over everything and anything. They are professionals in Hostility. Upper Management never reports to corporate so there is no direction provided, no vision, and no mission. CEO is “hands off” and expects entry-level personnel to figure out everything on their own or risk being fired.
