Pros

You will be kept busy and time will fly by. You will have one fellow co-worker in your 2 person cubicle room, some coffee, a microwave, and a $20 keyboard and mouse set to use. This company was established in 2005 and has had tremendous growth. You'll be part of an incredible company culture using Slack to communicate with your 3-4 other co-workers. Like emails? Get ready to copy/paste 400+ emails within a 3 hour period of time. It'll be you with the help of their outsourced workforce (outside the country). Their website is very informative and was made by their CEO. Read through it all and make your own opinion of the company.

Cons

Here's what sets Essnova apart from other companies as of their 4 key points on the home page. One, Strategic approach: Their approach is to email spam hundreds of government departments and agencies in hopes of getting a work contract to then outsource to their out of the country workforce and 2 -3 employees in bhm. 2, Client first focus: So much so that management disregards their employees with countless grunt work with little pay. There's some quality work. Government departments and agencies please pay attention before hiring this company. 3, Attention to detail: essnova.com . Enough said. 4, Reliability: They will make sure to get the work done no matter what. Doesn't matter what is as long as it's turned in to Mr. government's office before the bell rings. Contracts are a great way to make sure you can turn in low quality work with guaranteed payment.

Pros

If you're a contracted employee (i.e filling in a contract with the government through essnova) this is a great gig for you because the Government has already set your pay and holidays.

Cons

If you're an office employee (working directly in the Birmingham office under the CEO) it is awful. You are severely overworked and under-payed. What they do there is Federal Marketing so its stressful, you work under heavy deadlines. You will be overloaded with tasks, all of which have "high priority". You will be stressed out to the point of Nightmares about missing the deadlines for responses and not creating the correct Quotes. You will be hounded at all hours by the CEO about tasks even when you are off the clock. The CEO micromanages to the point where every task becomes a huge painful and slow process. after only a month, you will be pulling you hair out from stress and rage. It is not worth it for the $27,000-$32,000 They pay to deal with that. Only take this job if you're dying for experience or are desperate. I can not stress how quickly you will become burnt out at this company. Essnova does not cover any benefits (blue Cross blue shield). so if you need health insurance, youll have to fork over half your paycheck for it. you get five sick days and five days of vacation. Your sick days DONT ROLE OVER! You get no holidays except for Christmas and thanksgiving despite being an office job that works with the federal government. They do not give federal holidays off. When you interview, the CEO will tell you to "look at the bigger picture". tell you that once they expand you can be in any department you want. he does anything he can to get you to work way too hard for his dream for minimum wage. this company was founded in 2005 and still only has 2 employees in office. dont fall for the lies.
