Incompetent management who doesn't give a crap. No communication. This company is a joke, they treat their employees like dirt. No advancement, no raises, no training.

Pros

Initially the pay was good but having been with the company for over three years and never receiving a raise, the pay is no longer good.

Cons

Management is the biggest joke around. It's acceptable behavior for management to degrade employees in front of others. There is absolutely NO help from HR; promises of "I'll get back to you" never happen. No community within the office and the office does nothing for the employees. So cheap, won't even buy flowers when an employee has a baby or an employee has a relative that passes, but "People are our best asset". IT is so far behind we can't even open things from our clients because we don't have updated software.
