Pros

Location. Cafeteria. Employees outside of the marketing department.

Cons

*Worked at corporate headquarters in Troy, in the marketing department. The job was supposed to be a "manager' position, but there was nothing to manage except the constant flow of research projects (production work, basically) for the "C-suite". There was no support, no positive feedback, and certainly no career development on the part of direct management. It was a sweat shop that could have been better served by outsourcing the research to an external firm (overseas, for example). *Older computer equipment (PCs, no laptops) *No opportunity for telework or flexible work environment, even though the work is solitary, production work that lends itself well to that model.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
