Pros

Opportunities to work from home

Cons

Extremely unorganized, inconsiderate and ethically questionable business practices. After completing my first week of work I was notified that HR had made a mistake in my offer and they wanted me to agree to a substantially different, lesser offer. I attempted to negotiate with them but they refused to honor my original offer. Throughout the process I felt completely disrespected. There was no concern for the fact that I had turned down opportunities with other companies to accept this position or that what they were trying to offer me was far too low for someone with an advanced degree and experience in the field. The ethical gray area of reneging on an employment agreement after an employee has already started working made me extremely uncomfortable about my future with them.
