Review from a 3 Year Former Employee
Pros
Free food. Can listen to music while you work.
Cons
Everything stated is my opinion, but keep in mind I was one of the oldest upon leaving. Favoritism and preferential treatment is rampant at this workplace, and I say that as someone who has been on both ends of the spectrum. If you are within their graces, you are allowed to ignore both professionalism and workplace conduct. If you are not able to weasel your way into the existing clique, you will be given tasks that have no clear deadlines, direction and contribute absolutely nothing to both the company at large or your professional development. Become acquainted with office politics, learning to hide your mistakes and nonconfidential discussions. Numerous times, I believe the owners themselves and management would ridicule, gossip and berate employees-- to other employees. You will learn how to hide your mistakes and obfuscate information otherwise you will be told your job is secure and terminated a week later (I witnessed this first hand in two separate instances, in which I believe they also set up spy cameras to observe employees. :) ) Any medical issues you have will be a reason for demotion or termination. Following a medical issue of my own, I was demoted without any rhyme or reason. This is not an environment of growth. Any mistakes that happen (unless you are a part of the previously mentioned clique), may be met with punishment, derision and childish cold-shouldering. There is no opportunity to learn from your mistakes or second chances, and those responsible go out of their way to ensure that you will not only never forget it, but you never have a chance to be properly trained or that you are educated on what you did wrong. Feedback will almost always be negative. Ontop of it all, safety is a very low priority. Rarely did I witness safe conduct be encouraged. My resigning from WebNX came after realizing that there were no potential opportunities at the time for professional growth, salary/wage stagnation and, mismanagement. There was a time I used to love this company, and am sorry to see what it's become.
