Prepare yourself to be overworked and underpaid

Pros

Gain a lot of experience. Great first job out of college

Cons

The pay is absolutely not worth it. They do not give back to their employees at all. Remote work only out of Minneapolis location. You will be expected to do the work of 3 people all in an 8 hour day. They lead you to think that there is growth within the position when interviewing but realized quickly that isn’t the case. Constant turnover with employees

Pros

You get a paycheck and some health care benefits and 401K like other companies.

Cons

You have to report to the minute how much time you spend working on projects. Office workers are not trusted. Typos are nitpicked and emails are sent to your boss that you dared be human. This is for people with average ratings who show up and get work done. We are treated like school kids. If you have a slow day due to no fault of your own, you get lectured about it. So that encourages lying on the time reports. Maybe bring us all back to the building in person and trust us more.

Pros

None that make it worth it.

Cons

Harassment claims are not taken seriously. They punish the ones who make complaints by putting the reporter under harsher scrutiny. Women are not treated as equals. HR is zero help and even after several reported and documented incidents of harassment from women the people responsible are rarely ever held accountable. Long hours Low pay Some management allowed to do little while others are expected to pick up the slack.
