Would be the perfect job if it weren't for poor management. And no, this isn't the "poor management" you can ignore
Pros
-Flexible work hours -Pretty independent -Some good benefits, like annual PTO accrual with no cap, employer-matching 401K, medical/vision/dental, and gym reimbursement (though gym reimbursement was taken away during the pandemic even though it is also intended for home exercise equipment) -Interesting clients (usually scientists) and fulfilling work (helping immigrants) -Great coworkers -Currently work from home due to pandemic (but employees had to beg for it) -Some advancement opportunities
Cons
-Extremely unstable compensation and policies -Contracted salary is actually BELOW industry standard and that of much smaller competitors -Method of attaining higher income is predatory and requires taking extra projects, so quantity is always more favored than quality -Far more clients than the company has capacity for, and management expects employees to deal with it -No transparency from management; policies are constantly changing without warning or feedback -Benefits are not equal for employees in the same position (eg, some employees have paid medical leave but others do not) -Management is hostile and ignores employee feedback and concerns, sometimes even reprimanding them for it or worse -HR is not very responsive for anything that isn't simply fixing clock in/out or calling in sick -High turnover
