Reno office mentality unstable
Pros: Hours and work are flexible and work can be interesting and exciting. At the beginning it seems like such an innovative company but you soon realize it is anything but interesting.
Cons: Once you reach a level of proficiency and mastery, you are no longer useful to them. You can easily go from a high or even just very good performer to the bottom of the heap in a matter of one quarter. The managers are untrained and ill equipped for management. They have no ability to be honest or forthright. 

The joke around the office is that it is not a matter of "if" you will get fired, it's a matter of "when." Everyone has a shelf life and it's just a matter of when you have hit yours. 

Such a horrible and toxic environment. There are therapists in Reno that specialize in MS employees because there is such a demand for it.

My advice is to get out when you can! The money is not worth it.
