Pros

Pay is okay and 196 hours of PTO is generous, but that's about it

Cons

Unless you're willing to inform on your team mates, you will not be a "favorite" and you won't go far at Prime. Prime refers to the work environment as a "fast paced environment". What this really means is long hours, high stress, a sweatshop mentality. Prime is the only company where I witnessed fellow employee's break down and cry from the work load and unrealistic deadlines. Good work isn't rewarded, instead managers keep track of every little thing you do wrong, like missing a meeting. This is used against you at your annual review to justify a lowered annual bonus. Do not believe HR when they tell you you will get a 6% annual bonus.

Pros

- VTO during non-peak season - Mandatory and Voluntary OT during peak season - Few calls per day - personable employees

Cons

- it’s nearly impossible to get hired on full-time. - as a contractor, you have no benefits and can’t partake in any of the company events or even give kudos to your colleagues. - the metrics are somewhat doable, but there are many technicalities that cause them to mess up a lot of the time. - Two months prior to being fired without warning, I was under the impression I was on a written warning, and not a final but was told I would get a follow up email letting me know about it and I never got that email. I did persist and ask about it a few weeks later and still had no follow up. - if you are a contractor, they will look for anything in your performance to fire you as soon as the peak season is over. A colleague was fired that same week due to suspicion of them having a mouse mover with no evidence provided. -I worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for two months straight with no days off until they made it mandatory to have at least one day off per week. - two days prior to me getting fired, in a meeting I was told that everything was looking great and that I was fine. It’s very odd how that tune changed abruptly.
