Pros

Some good people there No real stress Nice office

Cons

The company is in real trouble. Major parts being sold off, loosing money, is being fined for breaking laws every month It was a good place to work 3 or 4 years ago but not now Clearly they are making it crappy for people so they leave and saves the company the cost of firing them all No career opportunities People leave and no there are no replacements, so get ready to do 3 people's job The snr mgmt in NY will lie to you about whats going. Read the press to find out the truth (whats reported almost always ends up happening in the end) You get a really tough interview and then end up on a project editing xml files

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
