Pros

I'm a member of the Marketing team and love being a part of this company! We're a small team supporting a global enterprise, which allows everyone to take ownership of their area of expertise. Things can get hectic, but there's a lot of opportunity for personal development. Great pay and work-from-home flexibility; solid PTO.

Cons

Years of integration efforts left a bad taste in the mouths of those who lived through them. Things are definitely turning around – CEO Scott Staples is a big part of that – it's just going to take time for everyone to realize this is not the company it once was.

We got to work from home twice a week.

Cons

Management is so out of touch with employees, and their main focus is only for their high revenue clients. Constant high level turn over......

Pros

Working at home has its perks.

Cons

Awful management structure, lots of bullying and they are only looking after the top management. Don't work there if you have another choice, you will regret it, trust me.
