Pros

Remote work is convenient and immediate supervisors are understanding.

Cons

The pay is appalling for the breadth of work that we do within the detailed specifications that we're given. The company is clearly having trouble maintaining high-quality output, but upper management doesn't seem to understand that in order to reach their quality goals, they're going to have to pay their workers enough to retain anyone long enough to actually develop the expertise that will deliver that quality. Instead, their strategy seems to be "pay as low as possible, then get confused when repeatedly having to train new employees on complicated sets of instructions doesn't result in good-quality reports". This has been brought up to them ad nauseum and their responses have ranged from "the pay is industry standard, so it doesn't matter" to stonewalling anyone who mentions it (while also telling us excitedly, at length, about where they are in the process of outsourcing to Manila and automating searches). We are also regularly given 8+ hours of mandatory overtime per week, which, while arduous and annoying, is honestly less insulting than the pay issue, though I suspect it's causing burnout that's also contributing to the quality problem. The fact that remote work is an option is, at this point, the only reason to stay if you do not have another source of income.

Pros

Exclusively that it's work from home

Cons

People scream at you all day. Even the people who are high up on the chain and one would expect professionalism out of. Minimal support from management, terrible communication. Good luck if you're trans, because you'll likely get deadnamed by the company and misgendered frequently. And they do not operate in states with shield laws--you're basically limited to living in the deep south and other states actively persecuting the community. Managers play favorites.

Pros

Remote work with company-provided equipment. Great colleagues Team mentality in the trenches

Cons

Leadership does not appear to be concerned about the employees. Horrible potential for growth, and who would want to be a supervisor when they get paid a tiny bit more to take on at least twice as much work and responsibility. Pay is insulting at best, and raises are only merit-based (and small) with no regard to inflation and cost-of-living. Training period for new employees is too short for what they are expected to learn. Expensive benefits that are not worth the premiums (high co-pays and deductibles). Leadership takes surveys about employee engagement, satisfaction, and ways to improve these, but they do not act on any of the suggestions. Leadership appears to underestimate the intelligence of the operations-level employees by sending out emails that claim to demonstrate a commitment to transparency and employee satisfaction while these emails are merely thinly veiled ego-strokes and complaints about said employees. While the company provides equipment, said equipment often arrives broken in some way, be it skipping mice, keyboards that do not work, monitors that refuse to power on, and missing or damaged cables. The IT team has a few good eggs. The others on the IT team do not seem to understand the meaning of urgency, nor do they appear to understand 85% of the programs we use, nor even how to give permissions for programs, apps, and websites. The employees are expected to navigate their jobs with ill-organized resources and instructions. Leadership claims to be focused on quality, but the quotas are so high that it is nigh upon impossible to meet them without mistakes slipping through the cracks. There are bonuses and incentives for exceeding quotas. These are meager to begin with, and once someone reaches that goal, it appears that leadership scrambles to raise the goal in order to avoid having to pay out again.
