Pros

Great people A lot of learning/training opportunities Great place to get well trained and move on Fun clients with exciting projects Nice offices Travel opportunities Mostly-Flexible schedule

Cons

High stress Low pay (compensation wasn’t worth the stress, less than $20/hr once actual hours were applied instead of 40/week) 50 hour weeks is the expected norm and the company culture sees this as the “standard work week for adult professionals” - quoting a VP HUGE amounts of turnover (increases stress/hours for team)

Pros

When there is work available, especially when this project first launched, you could make decent money. The Quality Improvement Program was once realistic and managers were accessible. They used to give us sick leave and it felt like a real job.

Cons

They took away our sick leave. Barely any work since Christmas, around 5 hours per week if you're lucky. The Quality Improvement Program has gone down the toilet. The quality checks constantly contradict the guidelines and the feedback from management is often contradictory and wildly inconsistent depending on the turnover. Lower level employees are constantly afraid of losing their job because there are random firings every quarter with no explanation.
