Pros

Open door policies for employees to management Training provided prior to starting the role, and trainer, Trystan Potter, was highly knowledgeable / beneficial to success in the role. Turnover is high & it directly affects client trust in the company - and their distaste is immediately directed at you. Benefits: Volunteer Hours, PTO, Sick Time, Health, Dental, Vision, 401k

Cons

The picture that is painted is beautiful, but the reality is dim. Job Opportunities are plentiful, but the position is contracted for a specified amount of time - 12-18mos - before you can change positions/develop career. No alternative scheduling options. Declines ADA accommodations.

Pros

Decent perks & good pay Cool office workspace The work is engaging

Cons

Goodness, the number of unnecessary meetings you'll have in a day! Culture feels like it's shifting to silicon-valley-software-company "what makes us the most money" instead of "what is the best thing we can do to serve our customers" Career postings for non-sales positions strangely seem to be more and more overseas locations....
