Pros

The money is wonderful, full healthcare.

Cons

- No HR support - Mainly all focus is on the UK - Nicole Eagan doesn’t care at all for the US employees - The higher management are corrupt from a different form of this company (research it , it’s crazy) - IT in specific is ran out of the UK , some team members are very great - IT management needs an overhaul - NOONE IN IT ACTUALLY KNOWS ANYTHING , everyone knows the little skill and they hire over you - You will be fired , or quit - OH , IT has a game about who will be fired or quit first amongst the Sales team. Good luck and again , The money is never worth it
