Pros

Ever-changing work environment. No 2 days ever the same. The pay was decent.

Cons

Training is very poor. They give you a computer and say "have at it". It was a gossip factory and if you didn't get in on the gossip, you were 8 balled. It was like working in an all-girl middle school. It wasn't just the employees, it was the management as well. I was a new hire, and I didn't know any of the people they were talking about, so I kept my mouth shut. It was a very uncomfortable place to be. I was used to get clients back that the previous salesman ran off. After I got most of them back and gained some newer clients in the face of the COVID, I was laid off due to a nationwide sales drop. Also, It was nearly impossible to take a day off. even when you scheduled it months in advance. If you did take a day off, you were made to feel guilty about it. I would net recommend this job to anyone looking for a career. If you just need a check, this would be the place for you.

Pros

Very little micro-management and senior leadership actually listens to engineer feedback. The pay and ability to work remotely was also great.

Cons

You may end up wearing multiple hats. While this can be daunting at first, the experienced gained was invaluable.

Pros

If you like working 24/7/365 you will do great here.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch, using earned PTO is frowned upon, turnover is very high company wide. 401k match is abysmal, PTO is less than market average, no sick time until first anniversary, expensive healthcare premiums.
