Pros

Worked here for two years, I can barely say anything positive about this company (oh I thought hard on this one). Little to no opportunity for growth.

Cons

The leadership is extremely weak and do not communicate/update their direct reports with any clear direction, by which I mean, every single project is seriously an unorganized mess. There is no established goal, or requirements, or plans. Everybody on my team was very frustrated with the way this company treats its employees and just the way they handle things overall. During two years, I can honestly say, I have never come across ONE single interesting project where I feel fulfilled in any way, nor was my skill or expertise valued in any way. Some people working here are friendly, and that's about it. All that was needed to "do well" here is lip work. It does not matter how good you are at your actual job as long as you know how to make up stories to tell other people. Lots of BS and power games, which means you have to deal with people who overlook what you can bring to the table, but rather how good you are at faking it. If you are someone who wants to come in and collect a paycheck and go home every day, it might work out for you, but if you identify yourself as anyone else other than that, I sincerely and responsibly hope you do not get yourself involved in this company.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
