Pros

-office parties -free bagels on Fridays -free health benefits

Cons

-micromanaging -low pay -stressful working hours -tons of office gossip -rude executives who add no benefit to the workplace and only distract the workflow of the office -inappropriate and racist jokes being told all throughout the office -no room for advancement whatsoever and if you happen to be promoted it’s in title only and no substantial pay raise will be given. -everyone seems to be overworked -unnecessary morning meetings every week. Working here as a first time job grants you great experience for the workforce, but this is definitely not a career job. Get out as soon as you are able to. The employees who have been here for a while are shells of their former selves and usually only stay because they have families that rely on the free health benefits.

High Turnover Rate

Pros

At first there was a family own company feel and co-workers were willing to help with small tasks and questions.

Cons

They have a high turnover rate and promote employees without providing proper training for the sake of "filling the gap". Employer was not truthful about the turnover rate at the time of hire. They stated 75% of employees have been with the company for more than 10 years. When I was hired, there were many new employees. About 3 women who left within 1 month have been there 8-10+ years. They decided to leave due to the way they felt upper management was not valuing their work and not providing an opportunity for promotion/growth. Employees seemed overworked and constantly playing catch up with the high volume of audits. There was no sustainable practical support for new managers when asked for it. Training provided is little to none and not effective with a high volume of work given, as well as no "trainer position" available. With no system or strong plan for training, new hires are often not able to "catch up" on their work. A person in upper management disempowers potential leaders by their disdainful tone, and at times, their inappropriate language. Many who have left the company did not have a positive experience working with this person.

Terrible pay and high turnover

Pros

The work-life balance is adequate most times. Full health insurance benefits (i.e., medical, dental, and vision) are paid in full by SQA for their employees and corresponding dependents.

Cons

Instead of paying their employees adequately and what they’re worth, upper management continues paying them pittance wages, leading to continuous turnover. Promotions occur, but with very meager raises. In fact, there’s a chance you can get a title change bump but with no pay raise. During annual performance reviews, you will have to fight for whatever raise you can muster. They host pizza parties or taco parties for their employees, putting on a façade of how great the company is doing and the supposedly supportive culture that pervades the workplace, but it’s very easy to see the stark difference with the type of work environment and morale SQA is trying to convey vs what what the actual company culture is like. If you must work here, then I agree with another previous reviewer who said to stay for the experience you need and then leave once you have it. Otherwise, I highly recommend you look for employment elsewhere.
