Pros

Literally not one single thing good to say about this place. It was a complete waste of time, effort, and energy! I really wish I had something better to put here because I wanted to like Mark and James so much when I started. If you currently work here, I suggest waiting to write your review until after some time (if you make it past a month or 2 of course). They want you to write a review immediately because they’re trying to increase the positive ones to offset the negative. The earlier you review them, the more likely you are to include some positive things like snacks and coffee and nothing in the negative because at first they’re trying to woo you before they treat you like garbage. Typically by the first week you’ve seen the negative side of things but of course they want a review on day one and start harassing from then about it.

Cons

As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is a terrible environment with a lot of arguments from management about the most petty things. The fact that they’re claiming ALL the negative reviewers to have been “terminated” is an utter lie to try and “protect” their image which they’ve deeply tarnished. This many negative reviews can’t be all lying about the environment and experience we’ve had. As if somehow we’re coordinating what we say even though none of us have met or worked here at the same time. This should be a big indicator of what’s to come if you join this office sadly. There’s no structure or system in place, making it extremely difficult to get organized in the office and keep a steady workflow. Pay is also lacking as it’s way below industry standards for this type of work and workload.

Pros

Great team, lots to learn, really nice office, fun group of people!

Cons

Working for a small company means sometimes having to do more tasks than at other jobs but the rewards are always staying busy!

Pros

Mark and James care very much about their employees inside and outside the office. They are some of the most selfless, generous people I've ever known. This job came to me at a time when I really needed it, and I just needed someone to take me under their wings. These guys have become like family to me and I couldn't be more grateful. I have a 3 year old and when she's sick, I can stay home. If there is an emergency at school or I have to leave early for a Dr's appointment - no questions asked, family first. The other reviews here that state "non family oriented" are just out and out lies. Every birthday and every work anniversary is treated with a big company lunch on top of Christmas bonus's and raises, praise for a job well done, etc. I could go on and on about all the things this company has done for me. Up to and including giving me an opportunity to learn and grow as a woman in this company and as a person in general. Thank you so much for all that you do Mark and James!

Cons

Small group, sometimes things get stressful when it comes to delivery dates for projects.
