Pros

-Good experience for entry into IT fields -Working Air Conditioning -Monthly cake -Compensation -Camaraderie -Culture and values -Fitness benefits of walking

Cons

-Experience in the IT field should come with ACTUAL pay for an IT job, instead of pitiful and non-negotiable wages. Instead, you get a great title and the same pay you would get working at Buffalo Wild Wings. -AC seems to work best in January -Admin staff above a certain level make an absolute killing, while staff make next to nothing. I watched engineers make a pitiful amount above minimum wage. I watched management not only refuse to hand out raises but AGGRESSIVELY invalidate tenure in the process. Why? Because monthly cake. -Aforementioned monthly cake costs more monthly than it'd cost to give hard-working employees actual raises -Camaraderie occurs because everyone feels like they're working in their own coffins. - Culture and values are present, and they are as follows: "Accept a lack of compensation and career path, with a smile, or hit the road". If you DON'T adhere to these company values, with a smile, you will be offered the chance to find another job. -Fitness benefits of walking will only arrive once you brusquely walk out the door at the invitation of management, who will happily invite you to do this upon your request for a raise anywhere over 15 cents an hour.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I applaud your efforts on your creative metaphors. As I have mentioned in previous responses, we have a %E2%80%9CMeritocracy%E2%80%9D methodology %E2%80%93 meaning we %E2%80%9Cpay for performance%E2%80%9D. I agree with your comments listed in the Pros section %E2%80%93 especially your mention of our Culture and Core values! The position that you held with us is a %E2%80%98Support IT%E2%80%99 role, and if you compare this position in the marketplace I feel that you will find our pay to be competitive to other like positions. Our monthly attrition rates continue to run below average in our market %E2%80%93 a measurement that I am quite proud of! It seems that you have moved on to your next adventure, so I hope that you found what you were looking for and I wish you the best in your future!

Pros

The paychecks don't bounce, at least as far as I experienced. You'll never ever have time to be bored, if you could call it that.

Cons

Completely toxic work environment, through and through. Ignores requests for Disability accomodations, uses the information gleaned from that process to institute write-ups. PIPs are their favorite tool ever, beside death from overwork.
