Steer Clear- unethical business practices - Help Desk Athreon Employee Review

Great work place for students

None that I experienced while working.

I don’t know how there are positive reviews, but there were no Pros for me, and I’m wondering how anyone else has fared in more recent dealings here.

Started out like breath of fresh air. Recruiter and first contacts very friendly and accommodating. Was promised unlimited work, which was wonderful. Took a lot of leg work and time to complete the required paperwork in order to be hired, but I didn’t mind as the work itself seemed so promising. I worked for 2-1/2 weeks. Period. Work dried up, or, I was just not given any more...? No idea as everyone then became very noncommunicative. My QA scores were good! My productivity was good! Up to their pre-stated standards. Completely blindsided by this turn of events. I emailed asking for work, or at least an explanation, and I was told it was coming, just be patient. I waited for another 3 weeks, and then gave my resignation. Not one person contacted me or offered any kind of interest. Thankfully, a prior job offer allowed me a Plan B :) Also, you’re paid through PayPal, which is just an amount—no detail whatsoever, so you need to keep very careful track to make sure they pay what you’ve worked. I’ve asked questions about this also, but of course no one is able to give me any information. This has been the weirdest experience, the most disappointing end result, and the most disrespectful and uncaring company for those of us out here trying to work hard and do our very best for them. I strongly suggest you steer clear. Recruiter should also be more honest up front. Very sad experience. :(
