Self-absorbed higher management

Pros

If you enjoy foreign languages, there are many opportunites here to work with them in many different capacities and worldwide locations.

Cons

Except for one particular upper-level management I was fortunate enough to meet, upper management seems very self-absorbed. Little recognition of the tireless efforts of employees "on the front lines" helping the company to succeed. Management seemed more concerned with revenue than the value of their employees.

Pros

Work from home, work anytime you want.

Cons

Very little support. If you work on a task longer than the time they tell you it "should" take, you won't get paid the extra time. I was shorted HOURS of actual work on my FIRST paycheck because of their regulations. Also it takes 2 MONTHS to get your first paycheck. Who wants to work for 2 months without seeing any money? I didn't, so I got another job. And I still work from home. Management does not live in the US, so any virtual meetings they invite you to are in British Time (BST or GMT). And if you miss a meeting they won't have another for a week or 2. The only support they give is the training material.
