CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, discretionary time off.

Cons

Most roles are being moved to India, 17 developers laid off in US in February. Middle managers are pretty basic, any independent thinking or initiative strongly criticized.

Only really working during holidays

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

When it's not a holiday period, work is very flexible, can be a decent weekend job. The staff and manager are great, no real issues there. During the holiday, you can make quite a decent amount, especially with some commission,

Cons

Barely any hours if it's not a holiday period. You only get a few hours on the weekend. Not too much structure in your schedule, you find out pretty close to when you need to come in. Mostly weekend work during the year.
