Pros

They start out friendly and provide quick hands-on experience.

Cons

The company is not as flexible as it claims to be. Compensation is not competitive or reflective of the workload, and there is an expectation to be available around the clock for client needs—even on scheduled days off or holiday weekends. Any work done outside of the standard 40 hours is not fairly acknowledged or compensated. When concerns are raised, leadership tends to shift blame onto employees rather than take accountability. There is little to no room for growth, making it feel like a dead-end role, and employee loyalty is not valued.

Pros

Everyone at the company is great, probably the best coworkers and leadership I've had in my career. It's also definitely a place where if you work hard and do your job well you are rewarded.

Cons

The health insurance has pretty high employee cost but that's really the standard if you aren't working at a big corporation.

Pros

- Very friendly people - Remote work - If you have zero experience on your resume and really need a job + experience this is an ok option

Cons

- You will not make good money at this company, They pay 18/hr (on salary) and that is the pay for (most) employees regardless of the position - You MUST start on a 1099 for the first 3 months - you won't become salaried until the 90 day mark - There isn't very much growth opportunity, nor is the company willing to give you a raise. If you want a raise, expect many additional tasks to be put on your plate, as well as a very close eye kept on you. - They will fire employees who want more money. We had a great employee on the team who really cared about his work, and went above and beyond. They refused to give this individual a promotion then said "he left before he got fired"
