Pros

* Remote working? But, we could have been working remotely for three years, but it required a pandemic for it to happen and employees were STILL required to work in a computer lab through April 2020. Anyway, remote working is not a novel concept nowadays. Big deal. I'm just trying to find something good to say.

Cons

* Very tedious and client-specific work; skills and knowledge are not transferable * Company will bend over backwards for its clients, but not for its employees * Little upward advancement, but many who have achieved it aren't qualified * For a company in the technology field, it is not very forward-thinking

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
