Pros

Good pay, ok benefits, career opportunities, of you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Archaic programs. Every module needed is a different program and nothing ever seems to work together. Changes all the time, like 6 times a year, there is another major change, se times backtracking. Makes for a very frustrating experience, with no way to build up proficiency, since things are always changing, sorting es for no discernible reason. You will work long hours, and will be considered a slacker if you work less than 10 a day in the office (salaried). No flexibility whatsoever! You will be expected to work weekends from home. You will feel unethical due to all the constant price increases, usually to small business, as large businesses all have caps.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
