Pros

co workers in my department, benefits

Cons

Everything else. Management doesn't treat you like an adult, or let you do any creative thinking whatsoever. Need to follow a script word for word, and if you even so much as look as a neighbor, you get reprehended for talking and not working. A worker who made their yearly goal was not given a yearly raise because they had a few bad months in that year. Higher management held meetings claiming that they cared, but consistently would not return or even read my emails to them.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
