Pros

Steady biweekly paycheck. PTO is pretty good.

Cons

High Deductible HSA is not real insurance. College educated professionals are treated like factory workers. Micromanagement on a scale that any communist would be proud of. Window dressing perks but nothing of real substance. HR runs the company and your manager has no real control. Feels more like high school than a place of business.

Pros

True offers set hours with great pay, great Benefits, Opportunity for advancement, and great Work-Live Balance Flexibility. Benefits include 1. PTO (lots to start, more with each year), 2. Health, Dental, and Eye Insurance 3. Company Savings Program 4. Cafe and Cafeteria (Cafe is awesome) 5. 401K Retirement Match Contributions 6. Large X-Mas Bonus Opportunities 7. Set 40 hours a Week Schedule with Flexibility 8. Great Corporate Professiona, Clean Enviroment 9. Top of the Line Equipment and Software 10. Dedicated Professional Management Team to help Employees with Continued Education and Employment Advancement. On the Flexibility of Hours...For example if your hours are 8-4:30 M-F, you have the option to Flex your time to 7:00-3:30 on any given day to make time for a late appointment. Even better, if you have to leave and return you have the option to make up your time between 7:00AM and 7:00PM. I will add that True is a privately owned company with the CEO and Owner Steve Trulaske working directly with the different teams. I personally have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He has been so kind and professional to work with on a personal level and cares deeply about the companies success and the individual employees success. He is first class all the way.

Cons

You are required to work because this is a competitive industry, and a success driven environment, you will be challenged to do you best, you will be encouraged to succeed and become a better employee tomorrow then you are today. If you want to get paid to play on your phone all day, this is not the right place for you! If you want to make a difference and really achieve something, this is the environment for you.
