Pros

Gym, food, pay is fair, good people

Cons

Yeah this place needs help. The tax department is not fair and there was little to no training where we got thrown to the wolves and expected to understand and meet the requirements for the week in regards to workload. There is NO work/life balance here. You’re stressed out all the time and i’ve worked in stressful jobs but this one TAKES THE CAKE. Team Leads and supervisors power trip. if your workload is not “met” at the end of the week, you HAVE to work weekends to meet that or you’re in trouble literally. When i interviewed i was told only working 8 hours OT a MONTH. nope! you gotta work it weekly!! So good luck if you apply and i hope you have a better experience than I did.

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
