Great work environment; coworkers were super friendly and helpful.

Open to new ideas and a laid-back culture.

Very unprofessional way of firing someone. Called at 8:30 p.m. to say don't come to work the next day. Was given no reason for termination, since it was at-will. They are in the clear legally, but it was definitely an unprofessional way of terminating someone.

Not a great work-life balance. People needed to stay until 7 or 8 p.m. at work to get their stuff done.

• Fire people in a more professional way (do it in person and give a reason).

Having been given absolutely no reason for termination, and given the fact that the managers kept talking about how they need to hire more people, and also given my great weekly performance evaluations and great reviews by teammates, I am left wondering what the reason exactly was and if it was even a legitimate reason. A side note: I was the only girl in the entire building who was visibly Muslim (wore a hijab). I really hope that wasn't the reason, but not getting a reason and having it done so abruptly does leave a sour feeling and makes one wonder.

• Need more organized structure so new hires don't waste their time initially.
