Pros

Make your own schedule, summer's off, do something positive. Benefits are decent. If you love books, it's a good place to work. I'm hard pressed to think of positive things to say

Cons

summer's off means no pay, at all, management is terrible, no oversight, tons of nepotism. Training is limited, They pile new stuff on all the time, but never take anything away. Constant yelling, maybe if you have a different boss,it's not so bad.

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.
