      Great Job...

      Pros

      Not micromanaged, free reign to do your job, company car(can be either a ford fusion or escape), gas card, iPhone, management where I am is great, very very flexible, off weekends, good benefits. Very good pay if you hit bonus which is not hard. You can pretty much move anywhere in the US, and they will pay relocation costs.

      Cons

      We are supposed to be self scheduling reps, but the ladies in the office will at times schedule appointments and move things around in your schedule without asking. You're by yourself all day, so it does get lonely. Emails constatntly coming in, so you feel like you're on call. Equipment is old, but new equipment is on the way.

      Pros

      The benefits are not terrible, I'm guessing about par for the industry. The paid time off is accrued over time and is very good. Office culture differs depending on what department you are in. The people are great. The office and location are great.

      Cons

      Management pushes every project to an unreasonable deadline, causing important steps to be skipped and quality to be sacrificed. Every day is in crisis mode, there is a lot of stress. Most of the workforce is offshore and the window of communication with them is either overnight via email or in morning meetings. After 10am EST they are unable to be reached. This causes a lot of delay and miscommunication. The off/onshore ratio at the Tampa location is currently approximately 80/20

      Pros

      Loved working with new technology always on the cutting edge

      Cons

      You compete for your job on a daily basis not only with FTE's but also contractors from India. The management allows the India workers to throw you under the bus and it seems like they encourage it. Also you will not find any type of support from your co-workers everyone is afraid if they give you information that you might learn there job and then be fired so someone else can take over.
