Pros

None. There is not a single benefit to working at this company. - No benefits are offered. - There is little to no opportunity for growth or advancement. - Overtime is effectively mandatory. - Raises must be fought for and are often denied. - Employees are treated poorly and without respect.

Cons

- Leadership fosters an extremely volatile, chaotic, and unsustainable work environment. Behavior is often erratic, hostile, and deeply unprofessional, making day to day work emotionally draining and unpredictable. - Turnover is alarming. In a company of only three people, more than five employees have either quit or been fired, which speaks volumes about leadership and culture. - Compensation is significantly below market rates, and conversations about raises or fair pay adjustments are dismissed outright, regardless of workload or performance. - There are no meaningful benefits offered. The company provides no health insurance and makes no investment in employee well-being. - The 401(k) match is negligible, and employees are not eligible until after a full year of employment. - There is no severance under any circumstances. Based on my experience, leadership actively avoids offering it, regardless of tenure or contribution. - Extreme overtime is treated as an expectation rather than an exception. Work life balance is nonexistent and never part of leadership discussions. - PTO meets only the bare legal minimum required by the state, with no effort to go beyond compliance to support employees. - Feedback is ignored, morale is irrelevant, and burnout is normalized rather than addressed. - The overall culture is reactive, unstable, and not a place where most professionals could realistically thrive long term.

Pros

The work from home aspect was nice. They do provide a laptop and other office equipment which is pretty standard if you are expected to work from home, so not sure if that is a "pro", but still.

Cons

Management offers no real knowledge or experience. The company runs at a million miles a minute just trying to stay afloat and that leaves very little room for any training or mentoring. Many verbal agreements are made by the CEO/Owner, Stephen O'Connor, which then are either neglected or forgotten about. The entire sales process also feels very bait and switch(y). This leaves many clients asking difficult questions that management (Stephen) then tries to skirt with half-truths and sometimes flat-out lies.
