Pros

- If there is work, it can be interesting. - The benefits are good. - Plenty of flexibility to work from home as needed.

Cons

- All processes are ridiculously complicated and convoluted. - So many processes/tasks are manual that in a healthy company would have been automated years ago. - This leads to an extraordinary number of errors. - Which in turn leads to few contracts being renewed, - so there is less and less work. - Employees are scared they'll be targeted for the next inevitable lay-off, so lots of negativity and stress amongst them. - Very small raises. - Laughable bonuses.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
