Pros

Free dinner and lunch Off street parking Decent starting salary for a first time office job Friendly coworkers who will help when needed Okay hours

Cons

Progressive Expert Consulting has a very poor CEO and management department. Their main priority and focus is to keep the "Helpdesk support" room full. They will hire anyone with or without a degree and stick them in that room. In most cases the hard working employees in that room end up leaving or being let go after they grow bored and restless in that room and need/ want more responsibility within the company but are never granted it. The company rather than promote internally like a normal company will look for higher paid potential employees online who may posses a degree but do not know how the main operation in the company works. This is when the lowest people in the bracket will end up training these other employees for a few weeks and they will then go off and make double what Helpdesk support makes but will not know nearly enough to do their job title. The company is constantly hiring and firing numerous employees at once and will have a very public and sometimes humiliating display of firing employees often times in front of their peers. Avoid this company.

Thanks for your comments, they are very well thought out. We do appreciate your service to our company. Our Helpdesk Support Staff personnel are some of the most important people in our company. It is an entry level position and is one of the ways to be a part of our company. We recognize that people may want or need additional responsibility but we have to balance that with their ability to handle that additional responsibility. We recognize that each person’s perception of their ability may not be the same as our perception of their ability. In those cases, we try to welcome an open dialog to try to come to a common understanding. In the past, we have had some supervisors who have not done this particularly well. We also, at a management level, recognize that we can improve our communication. Since the time you left your review, we have made some structural changes to the oversight in our Helpdesk Support Staff as well as intentional and substantive changes in the way that we communicate company-wide. It’s our hope that these changes will help current and future employees have a better understanding of what is going on around the company.

Pros

- Flexible hours. I work part-time and can set my working hours to any time of the day. I won't necessarily get those hours because it depends on when classes are scheduled, but I generally get classes in my desired hours. If I need a day off for an appointment, it's very easy to contact my supervisor. - Super friendly environment. My supervisor is great. They let me know if I make an error but I've never been chewed out, felt disrespected, or micromanaged. - Easy to get help. There are dedicated chats for monitors, tech support, and more. Help is literally a message away. - Low stress. Because there is a team available to help if something goes wrong, it's much less stressful. The work involves a bit of multi-tasking but isn't difficult overall. - You get to watch language classes. You don't always get to learn from them as sometimes you'll have four class simultaneously, but they're enjoyable to watch.

Cons

- Limited hours. Currently, full-time is not available for monitors and part-time hours are limited to what is available.
