Pros

Work from home Submit your availability

Cons

- Tens years with this company.... Not only have I not gotten a raise, but TOEFL and GRE raters had their salary CUT to be in line with less complicated exams. - No more busy season. There used to be a few months here and there where you could work 60 hours a week if you wanted. That's all but disappeared except for common core tests. - Common Core and HiSet pay is insulting. How are we expected to be professional, effective raters when we're making less than a cashier at Target? - Constantly finding ways to cheat employees out of being paid

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
