Pros

Work from home, Paid time off,

Cons

The pay is awful in MD. If you work in another State expect to have your pay adjusted by thousands yearly..every other year? Not sure why, but lucky them. If you start entry level work for PRH in NY expect your salary to be $55K on day 1. Thats more than folks in MD make after working here for 10 yrs. By thousands. Our corporate office loves to send out a company wide email announcing the big raises for everyone but us. Imagine how we feel in MD seeing that!! MD our raises are 3% . We are important to this company, but not compensated fairly.
