Pros

I am mostly left alone during the work day to get work done and listen to music while I work.

Cons

Only took this job because sales at my last job tanked when inflation hit. Grey, lifeless corporate position where you exist only to help two megacorporations communicate more efficiently. Unclean, old facilities, trainers are incompetent, and they constantly dangle the prospect of WFH while never delivering on it.

Pros

This company has no pros.

Cons

Their location in Champaign IL is managed very unprofessionally and they treat their employees horribly. They use deceiving tactics to hire college graduates for nearly nothing and they promise opportunities that they can’t even deliver. Zero support from the management team at this location, completely MIA. They are in a business of destroying young lives and dreams.
