Pros

Smaller sized company,can gain exposure at all levels of organization. HQ is nice with free coffee, bagels and fruit

Cons

Silo managment requiring miliatry credential to move up. Too many people with nothing to do. Nepotism runs rampant throughout the company. The executives see Project Managers simply as non-Tecnial folks signing off on deliverables and not as technical leadership. So the management has a lot of paper pushers.

Pros

Training was good. Coworkers are helpful.

Cons

The pay! $18.81/hr is not worth the amount of work you have to do. They told us in training that there would be a minimal of 3 inbound calls. That was a lie. I've had more than 4 calls come through within the first 2 weeks. The amount of outbound calls you have to make are insane. It's a waste of time. And don't do the evenings because you'll do double the work on outbound calls with no pay differential. Everything is on a spreadsheet and the system that you do use doesn't work.
