Pros

Good benefits Flexible hours Can work from home Good work / life balance Most people are nice and helpful Many diverse businesses across the country / globe

Cons

Main goal of leadership seems to be on how low they can cut costs through job reduction and outsourcing with the ultimate goal being taking the leaner company public and cashing out. Lack of helpful resources Poor communication across functions Lack of training

Pros

The car, good (but expensive) medical insurance, free internet, 10 weeks paid working vacation to train in Tampa....

Cons

Working in homes where animals use the carpet you will be working on as there toilet. Roach homes, some so bad you can smell the roaches when you walk in the door. Never knowing what your schedule will be like next week. A pay scale that is from the 1980's. Horable tech support and managers that don't know a thing about how the EQ works.
