Pros

Monthly reimbursement account for fun activities after 6 months of employment.

Cons

Company is ran like a mom and pop shop. Not professional, consistent or transparent. Clients hire Populus because it is cheaper than other companies like it and they basically get what they pay for. Technology is old and inefficient. Managers and team leaders are inexperienced, disrespectful, abnoxious and verbally abusive. Training or lack thereof is a joke. A few days is spent explaining the job and then the employee is given a high volume of work resulting in a work week of over 40 hours and contradicting work/ life balance that the company boasts about. 401k benefits are terrible. The company only matches 50% instead of 100% and charges a maintenance fee to have the account.
