Pros

The people are awesome! The location is close to New Hartford. You make your own hours.

Cons

No real hands on training. Systems are all old and do not support the work that the clients request. The work is never ending and no slow points to take a vacation. if you leave for even one day the amount of work you come back to is not worth having a day off. Every department is very short staffed!

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
