Pros

Get issued a laptop, get a pay check but is way below average pay for Instructional Designers by like $40k a year...

Cons

Where to start.. Very unbalanced expectations & extremely demanding expectations.. Like having deliverables due in first week without any training or management communication. Have to work for this terribly inhumane client of theirs called "i3" who are the team leads. Zero support at all from any from C2 , they are completely clueless and even had the C2 HR manager ask me once what my job was about.. Better hope not selected as a textpert or captivator as both jobs horrible and make you use unfunctional systems that are not even tested by IT.. i3 or whatever call these clowns act like team leads but never answer any questions or respond to questions. Total jokes.. They don't care at all & just want completion of their ridiculous training guides that lack any outlines often or SME details.. Will push terrible 1 week timelines for challenging complex work. Also the assigned SMEs are nice but often don't respond in a timely manner thus impacting deliverable completion as need their safe off. Place lacks any accountability & better off just work at a sweat shop somewhere in India as that is the treatment you'll get here. Beware this place is really sketchy & will throw any employee under the bus in a heartbeat.

Pros

Minimal oversight, lovely co-workers, low expectations

Cons

Grossly underpaid. Management does not properly manage staff or provide the resources needed to complete simple tasks like submitting time cards and requesting time off. Lack of transparency regarding work timelines. CEO gives sales pitches to staff and forwards LinkedIn articles that look more like spam than communication from an experienced business professional.
