Pros

-some of the people are nice to work with. -discounts on books. This company is great if you're looking to settle and not grow at all. The company will try and get the younger crowd by marketing the summers off...trust me the cons outweigh the pros.

Cons

-the company does not offer growth. -in general management and corporate is sketchy. - the work environment is not one of progress and team work; it's a toxic one. - they will put anyone in a seat that shows some sort of drive. -pay is not competitive. -HR does absolutely nothing. * As you can tell the list goes on and on. Long story short anyone deserves better than what this company has to offer. Trust me better opportunities are out there. Companies that are worried about the happiness of their employees are out there. This however; is not one of them.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
