Pros

They respond very fast with the results of your test. They give you links to free programs. Other than that there is nothing good about this company that I can think of. Worse experience for a AT HOME JOB. CRAZY!!!!

Cons

If you don't pass you don't know your score. The pre-exam area is the same as the test. Look and all. The pay. Not paid for studying or maybe they call it self training. Not worth the time for what you don't get. 1099 and if have to give them statements if ask of payment on your taxes. Crazy!!! I will not be applying to this company ever again. BEWARE TEST TIME IS SUPER LONG. 33 questions with 5 answers per question. Crazy. So that's 165 questions you will have to answer. The test was worse than a college exam. CRAZY😡 I don't understand why you have to study 146 pages and then take a three part test if you already have qualifications for the position. If you don't pass part 1 you don't move on to part two or three. For what they are paying for the position you shouldn't have to do all what they want you to do especially if they are going to train you. You don't get paid to review or study the material. You don't know what your score is after you take the test. It is a pass fail. The questions on the test will confuse you. I think for this to be a work at home job they take you through more than a 9-5 job.

Pros

No pros, there is literally nothing I can say about them that is good.

Cons

No team, everyone is individual. No culture.
