Pros

Working from home, so not having to travel or dress up.

Cons

A lot. You are constantly tied to two monitors for 7.5 hours a day. You will be taking a very high volume of calls that are constant and require your full attention. So if you're looking for a job where you can take care of little ones or family members in general, or if you might have any distractions at all, then this is not for you. Regardless that the original job description states flexibility, this is anything but. Attendance is extremely strict, and during working hours you must remain constantly available on your phone and at your computer just as if you're working in the call center. You are not allotted time off for any reason due to the amount of calls that come in, especially during your training. And dr's excuses for sickness, pre-existing conditions, or any other reason are not accepted. The customer service supervisor is young, very cold, unempathetic, cocky, and has a superiority complex. He does not like to be questioned by who he deems to be inferior to him, which is basically anyone under him. This turned out to be a shared consensus among all of us new hires. To be honest, over all the supervisors seem to not like to be bothered at all and do not give the feeling of being approachable. If you have an issue, you're fortunate to receive a response. Favoritism at this company is apparent and unashamedly made very obvious. I can say without a doubt this is one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. Overall feeling is that here, you really are just a number and they couldn't care less about their employee's.

Pros

Hard to think of any.

Cons

They pay little then try to keep you from leaving with their counteroffer of what they should have been paying you all along. The insurance is, ironically, pretty bad and prescriptions are only paid for through cvs pharmacies. Management has no idea what they're doing and many key resources are outsourced to less skilled developers. They give you 16 days a year to use for both sick and vacation, so better not get sick. They are unnecessarily forcing all employees back to the office in the middle of a pandemic. Little opportunity for career advancement. Didn't pay me my year end bonus, and no promotion or pay increase despite many many emails of CVS boasting about its constant record profits.

Pros

- direct team members and Rich B. are fantastic. - fully remote work - usually a simple technical interview about JavaScript/Typescript basics, nodejs basics, and angular basics to get hired. - overall the work is pretty simple

Cons

- Aetna, the company you will work for, offers terrible insurance with high deductibles and high monthly costs. The plans aren't as good as former employers offered that used Aetna. They have a yearly employee survey that shows this is a major concern, and it is ignored every year. - you have 7 vacation/sick days in total. - We don't have the paid version of gitlab, so managing merge requests is a pretty manual process. - We don't have a great ci/cd setup. Deployments fail for inconsistent reasons. This could probably be fixed by using the paid gitlab ci or paying to increase our Jenkins instances, but it is unlikely to happen.
