Pros

Benefits including 401k matching, paid time off, health insurance etc. People who work there are nice.

Cons

Higher ups are consistently changing, causing unpredictability for multiple facets of daily work that affects everyone. Pay increases are not decent and should be higher for the amount of work they expect to get done. Short staffed.

Pros

it is remote - if that's what you want discounts on gear from GC you don't have work after hrs

Cons

micromanagement they ask you to do 100 outbound call per day and they set goals for selling that can be stressful they don't let you take the laptop outside US Do that job if you want to loose your soul
