Work with people from around the world. Excellent workshops and training available for employees. Great benefits package including on-site health club at most Des Moines locations.

Cons

It is a very complex company and code base. It will take a while for anyone to become proficient with it.

Pros

I wish I could say there any.

Cons

Bonuses only once a year. I’ve had better. Benefits aren’t any different from any other company. Actually other companies offer a better benefits package. Work overload. They’ve been requiring PTO every Monday and if you dont do it you get penalized. So they dont care about work-life balance. Do not and I mean do NOT work for the PCC. They lie the whole time in training and nobody knows anything so you can never be sufficient at your job. This was probably the worst company I’ve ever worked for.
