      Pros

      *Some* good work if you find yourself in one of the very few areas the organization is prepared to fund.

      Cons

      Organization is going downhill. Qualified and knowledgeable staff are leaving, senior management are focusing in cost over any other metric. Obsessive outsourcing to low-cost centers and refusal to hire in high-cost locations are ripping apart teams and severely impacting ability to deliver. The business can't rely on IT to deliver solutions and major incidents happen on an almost daily basis. Firm is about as anti-meritocratic as you can get, promoting those in minority groups over ability.

      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
