Pros

The only pro is the foolish dedication of some coworkers that are good people who have not left yet

Cons

This is a horrible company for employees and customers alike. They have an extraordinary lack of leadership and direction as is demonstrated with 4 CEOs in as many Tera and the current out flux I executive and senior management team. CEO is neither liked nor trusted and his team is full of talking heads. He routinely lies to employees announcing the end of layoffs and off shorting only to do it again a few days r weeks later. Most key employees are looking or are gone or were severed to offshore their jobs or keep lower less qualified employees. Those of us left are just migrating accounts until our jobs are eliminated and the severance packages are awful and get worse with each new layoff. Clients are leaving or looking. Hold times for clients are 20 minutes plus. The only focus is on off shoring and money savings. They are a typical picture of VCs gone bad. They are ruining what was a decent place because they are "the 800 pound gorilla" of the screening industry and don't care about their customers their employees or their reputation.

Pros

Remote first company Once out of operations you really manage your own time.

Cons

Excessive Workloads Poor choice in Team Leads Don’t get sick and if you do pray it doesn’t last longer than your FMLA 12 weeks because they will fire you! Even after 8 years of employment. Even when it is documented that they are responsible for the health issues caused by burnout!
