Pros

Flexible I’m sure theres more

Cons

“christian” company which originally I loved- until I realized thats a facade! • No room to move up- • low pay- no real raises • wear lots of hats- as with any other job but they do cross projects/budgets but they expect you to do them even when not in your contract • location! they have a parking lot but there have been cars broken into and stolen and they don’t allow security to get more people • work more than contracted hours and many expect “24/7 access”
