Pros

The company is bringing on a lot of smart and talented executives. This could be promising for the future of the company.

Cons

1. Lack of career development - There has not been any program or visible career path created for employees. This leads to lack of growth in the company (unless you are on the sales team). It is rare to see an employee promoted from within. 2. Untrustworthy - The HR department is by far the most unprofessional team at the company. Rather than being there to help empower employee's and foster good employee relationships the team is the root of all issues and drama. The HR department is infamous for leveraging the confidential information of one employee to coax confidential information out of another. The company has great values but they should ensure that the HR team embodies these values more than any other team at the company - after all they are the ones bringing in new employees... 3. Misleading - they speak about a flexible open PTO policy but there are a 'suggested' number of days that you take. 4. The Company Believes Their Perks are Culture - they think they’ve nailed company culture because they have a ping-pong table and offer free catered lunches a couple times a week. Yet, they fail to notice the company morale declining. Don’t be fooled by the perks and look at what the actual environment is like. 5. Bad Reputation - check out the company's BBB reviews

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.
