Great HR Manager, Good Management

Pros

The HR manager is top notch and takes care of the employees. Small company feel. Management is laid back. Clients are interesting and work is usually low stress. Boise office had weekly BBQs. Free soda and snacks.

Cons

Neither "hard work" or "slacking off" is appropriately recognized. There was one employee that consistently cheated on his hours and everyone knew it. He was often only in the office 6-7 hours a day but logged over 40 hours per week. Many of us formally complained to management, but since he was (dishonestly) billing a lot of time to the client, they didn't care. Alternatively, others that were actually putting in real overtime hours and being honest with their logging were often not rewarded, nor recognized appropriately for their efforts.

Pros

Colleagues are pretty smart and fun to work with.

Cons

Terrible management Some people get to sit around and play games or use facebook while others get nagged to take more calls. Constant nagging to take more calls. This is a call center despite being advertised as helpdesk. Forced to backburner high priority tickets like server downs in favor of taking voice calls. Will do everything to keep you on the phones and not advance
