Pros

The pay was ok vs work related

They will fire for any vague reason. Never fully explained why they let me go so suddenly.

Pros

Decent pay, flexibility, reputable company.

Cons

Don’t count on internal promotion (on a higher scale) if you’re not a member of the “good ole boys club.” Forget your good work ethics and skills, if the decision makers don’t like your personality and you don’t fit into their mold—they’ll go through the motions of the interview process with absolutely no intention of promoting you.

Very ethical and professional company! Very detailed training and expectations.

You must be adaptable and able to meet metrics as they change. But changes and expectations will be communicated clearly.
