Pros

Downtown location, parking, and the small gym facility in the basement. These are the only positive perks of this company.

Cons

Management at all levels is a joke. Your opinion will not be valued nor appreciated. The mind games are constant and you as an employee are made to feel undervalued, unworthy, and disrespected. I personally lasted with the client I was hired with for a year, and I was considered a veteran at that point as most individuals leave 3-6 months after their hire date. Within a 4 year time frame, there were 3 individuals working in my position before I was hired. Many employees are trying to make connections with outside companies to escape the culture of this company. I made the mistake of accepting the position before reading the reviews listed here and I regret it. I had to leave the abusive, low-pay culture without a job offer because that's how bad working conditions were. Thankfully I had years of work set aside in savings. I feel bad for the younger, new hires that are clueless and think that this is a normal work environment. Do yourself a favor and avoid applying. The benefits are NOT worth it.

Pros

Fast-past environment requires you to learn things independently so you will develop new skills quickly; potential to travel to awesome places depending on your position/responsibilities. Benefits like health insurance and PTO are better than many other places

Cons

Absolutely terrible management. Management's protocol is to delegate all tasks to their subordinates so they can wipe their hands clean of having to do any actual work. Their mantra is "just get it done" and will not listen to you alerting them of any issues that arise impeding projects which leads to disasters. Crazy high turnover. Depending on the association/department you work for it is not unusual to see all your coworkers departing for new jobs. Compensation ridiculously low.

Pros

Location and that is about it.

Cons

Soul crushing environment where employees are constantly planning to escape. I have not met one person who is happy there. I think the only reason people stay is because they are afraid no one else will hire them. The lack of innovation and abusive culture shapes you into thinking that you are worth nothing. Currently planning my escape route. Do not work here unless you are absolutely desperate and have a very strong sense of self that cannot be shattered by horrible management.
