On boarding process....

Pros

Interview was fun and great. Team environment is excellent. In general, it is nice to work with people around you.

Cons

On boarding process is terrible if they have one. Did not get any detail orientation+payroll system+payroll access on the first day. Keep sending wrong log-in information. slow process to fix the problems; Tried to contact anyone with phone, no one is answering, only email back and forward but it takes several days to get answers. As a result, payment is being delayed due to not submitting the timecard on time; which I did not have access? working for wks but not getting paid on time....So wrong

Pros

Benefits were pretty decent. Office location was nice.

Cons

They have no idea what they are doing, the lack of leadership is abysmal, sure they will send you out to Nashville and give you a good time and pump you up. But once you get back and get that first paycheck, if you are low on the totem pole....quite the shock. Don't try to give ideas or suggestions. The fear that you know might know something more than them, scares them and they will shut you down; was glad to get out.
