Pros

They do have a nice medical plan and a generous bonus amount each year, colleuges are very nice

Cons

Absolutely 0 work life balance. Expect to work above 9 hours daily and sometimes on weekends. Will be expected to work on 3 projects at once. Its a very high stress environment and this company is very strict and unflexible when it comes to their employees needs. Dont work here if you have other options

Pros

decent opportunities for overtime work. Salary with OT possible.

Cons

Company is beginning to outsource their operations teams to india. You will be on a ticking clock if you take a job in one of their ops teams. They are clueless about how operations should work. The are forcing people to come into office during covid and have stated multiple times that they are going to require people to be in office when covid is over.

Pros

1. Pretty solid health and retirement benefits. 2. Can’t speak for other areas (teams) but it generally looks like a really good company, just depends which team you end up on and how much that team's management really cares for you not only as an employee, but as a person.

Cons

1. Extremely low pay for the amount of work employees are expected to balance along with other projects and weekend work. 2. Although the bonus structure can be generous and enticing when written on paper - up to 18% of your base salary, don’t expect to see the full 18% unless you are part of the inner circle – regardless of how hard you work. 3. All about favoritism – a “yes” type of environment. Raising questions or not doing things exactly as management would do them (even though you get to the same result) is viewed negatively. 4. Career growth opportunities are non-existent and there is zero support from management in that regard. There was no work-life balance, even though the Covid pandemic that’s still ongoing. Poor management structure in place that works solely on favoritism regardless of how hard others on the team work. Salary is extremely low for the amount of work thrown at employees. Client support seems to be treated like the dumping ground for everyone’s issues. The training period is about a month long, but that month is wasted as there is no actual training that goes on other than sitting with in-person or now remotely with other members of the team and watching them work on their screens. Be prepared to experience extremely poor or no communication not only from management but also from senior co-workers. Unless there are significant changes, I would not recommend this work environment to anyone.
