Pros

There is nothing positive to say about this company.

Cons

The corporate office is ran on favoritism and the good old boy mentality. They protect whom they want to protect regardless of the impact to the company and working environment. As large as the company is it should be outsourcing their payroll and benefits to a vendor as this would alleviate payroll inaccuracies and benefit inquiries and changes could handled online through the vendor. ATD is so behind the times in technology, HR, and employee relations. ATD would rather pay big salaries and bonuses to incompetent upper management and their assistants than to invest in programs and technology.

Pros

Its remote setup and competitive pay for the tasks involved. While there is a learning curve, the job becomes straightforward once you memorize the systems. The experience is further improved by great managers who provide a supportive environment for their teams.

Cons

The environment is high-pressure due to strict QA standards and a low tolerance for errors. There are numerous complex guidelines that must be followed precisely, which can feel restrictive for those who prefer less micromanagement or more creative freedom in their workflow.

Pros

I liked a lot of the other people that I worked with on my team. I loved my managers before they made leadership changes - two of the best managers I've had in my career, especially the VP that we reported to. Would have loved to have stayed if they were still there.

Cons

Management changes were terrible. It was one of the worst experiences I've had in that respect. I was also lied to about a promotion and strung along, doing two jobs and being told that I was going to be paid more. The excuse was that it was just stuck in HR. When I left, I did an interview with HR, and they told me there was no plan for a pay increase.
