      Pros

      The only thing great about this company are the flexible hours.

      Cons

      The pay is very low and raises don't happen that often. Also, the company benefits are horrible and they do not match your 401k. Management is horrible and they like to micro-manage. This company is very cheap. The have been outsourcing to India and layingoff people here in USA.

      Pros

      Before the purchase by STG, it was a great place to work. Leadership cared about the people and while they didnt always execute well it was like a small family

      Cons

      STG is all about bottom line. President doesnt care about the people at all, although he portrays that he does. Its all bottom line, and the people who get them there dont matter. With the two recent acquisitions, there is less and less importance placed on people. More cuts to come, anyone who is from the old FADV world needs to be worried for their job.
