Pros

Great and cool work, opportunities to advance because a lot of people are fired, and some people are hard and dedicated workers.

Cons

Toxic environment because of its bad management. No respect at all and some are sexist. Management scream at workers, they openly call out people in front of others even if they're new or another higher up. It's embarrassing to see. High turnover rate, even for the managers. Word of mouth runs the place because management is too busy doing other things. This means that a lot of scapegoating happens. Managers micromanage a lot, but it doesn't work because they don't know the process. You can also suddenly get no hours at all if the place is slow, without warning. And to top it off, it's dangerous. People are hurt a lot because they are treated like animals. They tell you things like "just move" if there's an unstable, heavy object towering above them, but people obviously still get messed up.

Pros

The ability to work from home and self manage my time allows me the freedom I need to parent and also excel at work. Even with remote work they value the team effort and that is apparent in yearly trainings with our team. They value my opinion and trust me to do my job without micromanagement.

Cons

Wish I got to see my co workers more in real life. Working with people in all sorts of time zones has its pros and cons.

Pros

this company has had my back through thick and thin. I value the opportunities to me since I started 5 years ago. I have been promoted twice now, and have learned valuable things which has made my resume look great for future opportunities. The work is great, the clients are fun and we have unlimited vacation. No one is expected to work overtime (and they don't)

Cons

no cons - they are great. Regarding every other negative comment on this site - every company has ups and downs. its a job! Learn to enjoy it and if you don't, don't be mad if you get fired when you are not putting in the work to be valued.
