Pros

The only pro to working here is you are not living off unemployment.

Cons

The pay is outrageously low for the work load they expect you to do. The Burger King by my office was paying $2.00 more an hour than what my office was paying. The managers are completely unaware of the tasks they demand their employees and the person who assigns you and demands work from you is not who is listed as your manager. The employee morale is some of the lowest I've ever seen in my life. You are micromanaged and treated as a child as much as possible. Room for growth? Think again. Once my raise was 23 cents. CENTS. while the company pulled in millions and you are asked to work almost around the clock. Promotions are given on a twice a year basis yet are always given before you are reviewed. They are also done based on race. Each round the white and blacks would take turns getting promotions. You knew if a white person got a promotion last time then the next time it would be a black person and so on.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
