Pros

-Fun and knowledgeable peers to work with -Remote opportunities

Cons

-"Quiet promotion" might as well be a core value; expectation is to work at one to two levels above, pay not aligned with duties. -Only "raise" was COLA @ 3.5% at year two review (still at a 3.5% pay cut with 7% inflation) -Counterparts at other companies making 20 - 30% more for same role(s) -Upward mobility is practically non-existent -If you do promote to a new a level, new salary is capped at 10% of previous (external applicants will be paid more)

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
