Pros

Steady paycheck and benefits plus 401k. Clean and controlled environment. No one breathing down your neck. Also they give you polos for work though xl is sometimes a bit hard to come by.

Cons

NO way to move up the ranks unless you're related to someone of come from a certain area of the world. Also management since they're all friends and family, most aren't qualified individuals for their positions.

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
