Cons
No managers to speak of- Most of the management has been "grand fathered in" from before the big hiring explosion and none of them have any people management experience. Everyone keeps secrets from their reports - Even if its something like explaining process changes in that your team will be working on, you hear about everything last minute when management has known for weeks or sometimes months. The company as a whole makes erratic changes - While the company started small, they have grown considerably, but still expects people to be able to change what they do at the turn of a dime. Its unrealistic and causes many more problems in the long run Each division of the company is its own silo - Communication between departments and divisions is a joke. Everyone is out to get there own piece of the pie without any consideration for what is actually good for the company as a whole No career development - Even with reports complaining and asking for career development, management has been dragging its feet. Worst part is, if reports don't approach managers with specific interests, managers do not have the ability to help reports determine where their specialties lie. Compensation is a joke - Paying someone with a masters degree 30k and yet calling their job entry level even though you would need to know many internal policies and procedures is a common practice. Pay rates of the same position two years ago or even one year ago is now a fraction of the pay rates currently. Often times, interns are paid as much or more than full salaried employees within the sales department.
