Pros

This used to be such a great place to work - decent perks, fun team building, collaborative atmosphere, room for growth. But things have changed...

Cons

The HR team that was brought in, treats their employees like we're in grade school. Flexible hours are a thing in theory but in practice you are scrutinized for actually making use if the "policy". The say open vacation policy but now it actually has a limit of 4 weeks. They recently let go the office manager that had been there since I started and she was the heart and soul of the place. People were so upset that they started a petition to keep her, everyone signed it yet it was ignored. I left on good terms and by choice but I'm just sad to see what's happening to this place.

Pros

Great, Intelligent, Positive people who are always looking for ways to improve and increase profit, and maybe even our own standard of living as well! For people who love to work on commission, who need that extra push to be happy, this is a great place. For people who need to be at home but also need a steady income, I couldn't recommend a better place--I was very happy here until my needs led me elsewhere. This job allowed me to rest and recuperate at home, while still being able to accumulate income. $$$$$ Perfect solution for a girl who needed a rest, but still needed the $$$$$. It worked out well. I came to Modernize looking for a "regular" job and ended up meeting surprisingly kind, good, smart, enterprising people--Bonus!

Cons

It was fun to feel connected over the internet while I worked at home as a virtual agent. Eventually I had to accept that I needed to be more business-like. All of this is true (I should be more business-like), I just felt a personal sadness when our communications were kept to bare minimums, profit only communique's. This is probably just particular to my personality since money is the object of the game here. I've since moved on to a more active job. Rest for a year, be active for a year--keeps a girl healthy! ;) I surmise I have what may be called a "cyclical" personality, so my next year shall be something totally different.
