Pros

None that would make anyone want to work there. If you can hack sitting in a 3 by 3 cubicle all day you might like it.

Cons

Absolutely the most awful place to work! There a bunch of mean bulies who run the office and if they don't like you, watch out. The environment is toxic with daily backstabbing. One of the floor supervisors uses intimidation to get her way and spouts sexual comments constantly. The HR person is not trained in HR matters and does not know the meaning of confidentiality. If you want to become a nervous wreck and have someone watch and criticise your every move, then this job is for you. My advise is to stay far, far away!

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
