Pros

Protrain is a virtual company and employees get to work from home. That being said, employees are chained to their computers and expected to be available after work hours and on weekends.

Cons

There's a Sesame Street song that goes, "One of these things doesn't belong here..." When 1 out of 5 reviews is completely different from the others, it's imperative to question that authenticity of the "1 that doesn't belong." I have to wonder if perhaps the CEO or COO might have written the most recent review of Protrain. To my knowledge Protrain does not have an intern. The other reviews reflect my experience at Protrain.

Pros

Having the flexibility to be able to work from home and not have to drive into a office. This has made it easy to complete projects and work in a efficient and effective manner. I know you have to be self driven and be able to complete task in a timely manner. I have see the reward of working hard and completing tasks that were given to me. Point is you have to do the job you are hired to do. If you like to work hard and get rewarded for the hard work you will enjoy working here as much as I do.

Cons

As their are always cons to each job you may hold for me no benefits has it downfall. But this doesn't deter me form liking my job and role at ProTrain.

Pros

-Work from Home Flexibility (NOTE: This is the ONLY work option with this company as it operates entirely virtually. This is an important distinction, as WFH is often presented as leverage against providing employees with raises despite there being no brick-and-mortar workplace.) -Connections with Educators and Students

Cons

-Lack of a Human Resources Department. -Poor overall company culture due to leadership. -Frequent, negative public financial discussions in team meetings. -Limited PTO Policy (1 accrued PTO day per month and no sick time, though several paid company holidays). -Continuous, long and unnecessary meetings ("this could have been an email"). -Extremely limited career growth potential due to company size. -Lack of career development opportunities provided by the company, only those you seek out yourself. -Expectation of after-hours availability (dependent upon position and sales goal status).
