Pros

Co workers, mission, and summers off.

Cons

In May we were surprised to find out we had a new compensation plan, it was a pay cut. The even more surprising item was to return from summer leave, work a month, receive our commission reports and realize we were being paid 4-5 weeks later than usual. All of this with the rationalization that we wanted this. Company surveys were very low, so this was the answer. We would be compensated for increased business. This is based on an increase over what number they decide is our goal. When asked, we were told the compensation plan is not finalized and we cannot receive a copy.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
