Underpaid, poor management

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote work is enjoyable, easy to access other employers and the coworkers are all close.

Cons

Paid the bare minimum and the pay structure is inconsistent each month with changes being brought to us. Over worked and underpaid. This company has a very high turnover rate because no one is happy with what they are paid and it is unlivable. Management does not seem to care when you express your needs for better pay and continues to find loop holes.
