Pros

Good provision of company benefits

Cons

To any Graduate or person looking to join. Some of the department management and project managers at this company are actively push to keep someone in their team and stop them from growing out of high school politics. You can have no work, get berated for lack of training and told go figure it out. When you try to get side of desk work they will control and prevent you. Funniest thing is, you can clearly see how offended people become when you ask to grow. They will use carrot on a stick tactics to tell you completing work will get you want you want or speaking to X will allow you to work in that area, but when do everything you get blocked. Nonsense company, if you join great for your CV but immediately move elsewhere when eligible.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
