Pros

Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The office that I work at isn't the nicest place, needs repainted in some offices, bathrooms seem to never work. My office has a lot of holes in the wall! Having two computer monitors on my desk would be a big help with my position. Fixing the computer in the office I'm at would also be very helpful.

Thank you for the review. We were disappointed to hear about some of the experiences you had. Our rates are competitive within the industry and align with the lower number of hours required, as this position primarily revolves around an academic school calendar. We/ve also implemented a bonus structure as an additional benefit for certain positions. We appreciate all of our employees and have taken extra steps over the last couple of years to ensure that employees have felt valued (e.g. extra paycheck, additional paid holidays, employee appreciation events and more). We take all unethical accusations very seriously and would appreciate it if you could share more information with us at humanresources@ponessa.com. Thank you
