Horrible QA team and management

Pros

The only pro is the money they give you to purchase tech items

Cons

The way they treat their employees is horrible. They make you clock in and out at certain times. The managers are also very strict with OT. The Quality Assurance Team makes you take quizzes every week and if you fail you go on PIP. Low pay job for all the work you do. Don't recommend it.

Pros

~ The pay is alright I guess ~ The job can be easy at times

Cons

~ Micro-management ~ Unrealistic expectations (example: they want you to work 35-45 applications a day and the ques QUICKLY run dry. If you didn't hit the productivity mark, they'll be sure to let you know that you need to try harder to do so...even when things are out of your control)
