Pros

Pros: 1. Work from home option 2. Company provides work from home stipend

Cons

Cons: 1. Executives have Us vs. Them mentality regarding employees. 2. Processes are antiquated. 3. Very hard to get your work done when there is a lack of support. For example, if you contact the Help Line for a computer issue they may email you back in 3-5 days. 4. Chronic shortage of staff due to mass exodus. 5. Executives have unrealistic expectations. They want you to produce but there aren't adequate support systems and processes in the company to allow you to do so. 6. The benefits sound good but they are sub-par. For example, I've always had VSP (vision insurance) but at Amherst, it only pays for an exam the first year - not contacts, not glasses, just the exam. 7. When you see 5 star reviews, please know that hiring managers have been asked to give the 5 star ratings to offset the bad employee reviews.
