Pros

PTO is flexible, you get technical writing experience

Cons

There is a discord between management and employees, miscommunications, favoritism, unknown to many aspects of what you are actually doing, the benefits are not the greatest, you are not paid for overtime, there is no room to grow (meaning you will always be entry level), you can not go to the employer with concerns as they are brushed aside. There is a lot of covering things up as well meaning the client says to do one thing management will say another but then contradict and say “The client is the customer do what the client says”.

Pros

They did try to make the working conditions better. When I started, we worked in the basement that was filled with asbestos, mold, the bathroom was a nightmare. The bought a building next door and renovated (we employees were asked to help) into cubicles that were at least healthier.

Cons

I was told at my initial interview that I had to move to Benson in order to get hired; so I did (they had no relocation allowance so I paid for this myself). On the first day, I learned they hired another tech writer who was allowed to work remote nearly full time (this person came in for a day twice a month--this person lived closer to Benson than I did. Please also note: this person and the married owner openly flirted with each other). I learned that I was not paid as much as nor did I receive the same "bonus" as another male tech writer who was hired after I was--he had less experience and education than I. This was one of the most toxic environments I've ever worked in. Avoid at all costs.
