Pros

The company culture is pretty laid back. No one is micro-managing you, you aren't punished for mistakes, and your coworkers are pretty great. Everyone is willing to help you, as long as you are willing to ask for help.

Cons

I was given Team Lead responsibilities 3 months before my annual review and 6 months before my promotion. I did not receive a base pay increase for the promotion and did not receive backpay for the additional responsibilities. Every other QA member I asked who got the same promotion said they experienced the same thing. When I asked for additional compensation, my boss threatened to take away my job title and questioned how well I was doing my work, essentially threatening to fire me. Another con is outsourcing. We are now exclusively hiring from Albania and Ukraine, people who earn 60% of the pay that US employees do. I love my foreign coworkers, but we had to wait months to fill a role when we had multiple US referrals willing to start that week. The final con is compensation. This role starts at $50k, which is 2/3 the starting rate with other companies for the same position. HR laughed at me when I asked for $70k when I first got hired.

Pros

Working remotely is good, better than on site.

Cons

Face value verses market value on tickets. The all sales final policy.
