Pros

I worked for this outfit for a short stint, a little over three months. I will say that the "pro" was it was easy to get a job here. They didn't even run a background check or do an in-person interview. Also, the group of people I met were interesting.

Cons

Hard to know where to begin here. I will start out by saying that they pay the worst rates I've ever worked for, which was because I had difficulty finding work in this time interval for whatever reason and took it. Secondly, they promised benefits after 6 months and my colleagues who stayed on never got them. They had a policy that you had to clock in and out of an electronic punch clock. This was a waste of time and was unprofessional. The management team seemed out of touch with what was going on and on our contract they did not negotiate to get the client to provide us with laptops so we had to use Citrix to log in and out of the client server. Made working on simple Word document horrendous. Then our team was forced to work in a small conference room all day off the main work floor. No ventilation. They did relatively little to make you want to stay on at a contract. One of my co-workers on the contract, although a friendly guy, was an ex-con who had almost no experience as a tech writer. It was a joke.

I am sorry for your negative experience. As our company has grown and expanded over the last 2 years we have made many improvements to our offerings and our processes. To address your comments, we do run background checks, we provide benefits after 60 days of employment to eligible employees, we do provide laptops of our own to our employees when necessary, and we have updated our office space but most of our employees work from home.
