Pros

Great pay! If you are a professional and you would like to work in a place with other like-minded professionals to progress your career do not work here.

Cons

Being led my dear old ladies that have been there years that are just interested in the 50k bonus they will be awarded if they employ the right contractors to do the work for them. "Leadership team", subtext for privately run cartel ensuring objectives are met to meet bonus requirements. Institutional bulling from leadership teams by dictation, they don't really care how the work is completed just whether it is going to be on time for them. Two of the "leadership team" were having an affair and kept leaving work early together for a quick sh%g - both married with children. The company seems to be obsessed with ramming LGBT values down your throat but then openly bully individuals on there personal appearance - "if the face doesn't fit"

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
