Pros

You get paid on time. If you land in the right team, many people are very pleasant to work with. Generally, it seems that people's hearts are in the right place; they simply don't have the training, wherewithal, or incentive to complete their duties effectively.

Cons

As an employee of a company that was acquired by Prometric several years ago, I have witnessed a slow, consistent decline in values, culture, and quality of product. The fact that the team at our prior company was so exceedingly competent shines an even less flattering light on Prometric. This company is riddled with staggering incompetence. Its lack of top-down empathy, its general apathy, its miserly attitude with regards to pay, and an aggressively unresponsive HR department speak more of Prometric's values that I ever could. Simple, well-justified queries to HR will typically be treated with silence or, at best, a milquetoast acknowledgement. The onboarding is laughable, typically consisting of random, off-the-cuff comments with no paper trail. It is the Platonic ideal not of "good," but "good enough."

Pros

Work from home arrangement is nice.

Cons

Departments are perpetually understaffed, managers are told to make do with resources that burn out and are never replaced. Attrition hovers around 30-50% and is considered a fixed reality. Managers are pushed by leadership to just squeeze as much work as possible out of employees before they burn out and quit. HR is terrible, there is no support for employees. Complaints against abusive managers and leaders are rejected outright, never followed up on and employees are just told to call an online therapy services if they feel uncomfortable, anxious or suicidal. Leadership are playing a game of musical chairs, every few months Managers, Directors and VPs swap portfolios. They're all out of touch with the reality of the business and continue forcing ill-conceived projects with no thought or plan behind them on barely functional teams, all to justify their pay cheque and seem like they're doing something. No staffing, no resourcing, no training, no clear goals, they just think of something and force it one their teams until they move on to the next one. The company is owned by a private equity firm and the focus seems to be on squeezing every penny out of every corner of the business. There are no winners here, the company has almost no goodwill left and is hemorrhaging business to Pearson, testing companies are abandoning the platform, testing sites are leaving the network, test candidates are upset with the testing experience. The whole business is dying and its killing its employees with it.

Pros

No pros. I'm not sure how this company is still existing. Nobody seems to be responsible for anything. Everyone points at another person who points at another person till the work to be done is forgotten People who still work here have been here for several years and have gotten so used to the bad processes and culture People who are new can't stand the mess, so they leave

Cons

Bad processes Ruthless Bosses/Management Ridiculous HR High turnover
