Pros

Flexibility, Easy, Clients, Not Sales Driven

Cons

It’s like they just hire anyone off the street. Not consistent in treatment among all staff. Hard to grow. Low paying job with lots of responsibilities. Doesn’t give staff accountability. Half of our team are incapable of their full job title

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
