Pros
Small company, you get to know everyone
Cons
The worse working experience in my career. Manager does not care about your well being, cannot control his temper, frequently yells and verbally abuse and bully subordinates and treat people like dirt. Company illegally dumps toxic organic chemicals down the drain and does not provide appropriate PPE when dealing with hazardous materials. Employees are not valued here, only exploited to the fullest extend. There is no career development to speak of. Since it is a family run business, nepotism is rampant. There is no direct deposit and paychecks are often late due to frequent cash flow issues. They are even so cheap that they do not mail the check to your address but hand it to you at your desk. Also they often withhold a percentage (10%) of your paycheck due to cashflow issues, months at a time without interest. Company cares about the time you spent at the office more than the quantity and quality of work you complete. There is no performance review and hence no salary adjustment.
