Pros

Health insurance for full time employees is ok. Slow call volume for languages other than spanish. Paid 15 minute breaks. Once a week, they will have food catered to the office (don't be surprised if it runs out before get to try it) Lots of overtime hours available if you need them.

Cons

Flexible hours are non existent. Scheduling always the same and they refuse to let you change your schedule. If you have a Dr's note or are a student be prepared to be denied. Compensation is $11.50/hr which is very low for the amount of mental stress that you have to put up with. There are not enough employees to meet the call volume. Almost every employee can work overtime if they want. Most employees get burnt out within 2-3 months. When you request a day off, don't expect to get it approved because they are already short on workers. When you walk in, you'll notice that all the employees look like zombies from being over worked. Since most employees can't handle more than a few months of working there, they find a better job or just quit because they can't get the days off that they need. This is seriously the worst company I have ever worked for, the sad thing is that there is so much potential but the company refuses to change their ways. As long as there are people looking for a job, they will continue to suck up their soul and discard them when they hire someone else. If you are thinking of working for Cyracom, don't do it! You will regret it, I promise. You can ask ANY employee or past employee.

Pros

In all of my professional career, the IT work here is the most laid back I have ever been with. Sadly, the fun was short-lived after we were sold out when the company was acquired by its rival Propio. They laid off the entire IT folks, dismantling this competition, retaining only less than ten from the whole organization. But it was a pleasure while it lasted. Too bad because their folks were easy going and management is mediocre but I learned a lot, plus it was what I needed in my situation, where I had to multitask working while taking care of personal matters, so it was a bonus.

Cons

Nothing really complicates my tenure here except some projects are really slow in implementation, lacking clear requirements and at some point I was shoved into something where there was really no discussion at all about a project and you just have to dig into it but I have experience so it was no sweat for me at all. There was also a point where I heard a lie about a project being complete but when I started working on it I just realized it was not even started at all and the other is not even deployed or existing so there you go I just had to keep silent and work on completing it. Plus Propio conned us by giving us false hope into thinking we get severance pay but it is not really severance pay instead they just tapped into the our state unemployment benefit and made it look like it is a severance pay. Unemployment benefit is not severance pay.
