Pros

Being unemployed is better than a job here.

Cons

As the title says there is low morale among employees. These are people that have been there for 15+ years. One of the first things Mark Parise told employees when he took the CEO position is that he knows nothing about the screening business. Another thing he mentioned is that his job is to tell his boss when it is best to sell the companies (This company is owned by an equity firm). Good way to start off your tenure as CEO. They also give you your year end reviews then at the last minute they change the scoring system so it is hard to get any raises or bonus. The jobs are being pushed to India while the headaches are being kept in the United States. That is ok because in the next year or so there will be no more customers to cause headaches

Pros

Remote first company Once out of operations you really manage your own time.

Cons

Excessive Workloads Poor choice in Team Leads Don’t get sick and if you do pray it doesn’t last longer than your FMLA 12 weeks because they will fire you! Even after 8 years of employment. Even when it is documented that they are responsible for the health issues caused by burnout!
