Pros

Good experience for a resume

Cons

BEWARE OF TIME DOCTOR! System tracks you every 3 minutes and takes a picture of your face every 10 that can’t be deleted unless you want to erase the time associated. You have to pause your time to use the bathroom, eat, etc. and photos are reviewed weekly and “brought up to you” despite how good or bad of a job you are doing at work. Micromanaging to the max and huge team “favorites” Takes advantage of young new workers to pay entry level positions wages just barely above minimum wage. Always too much or too little workload.

Honesty, integrity, and personal accountability aren't traits that are pay dependent. Good team members in entry level roles can be all of those things, just as much as senior hires can have character flaws that lead to them abusing the autonomy offered by work from home or work from anywhere. When one person cheats the system, it damages the trust of clients, other team members, and undermines the results we're trying to produce. Every year we evaluate our commitment to Time Doctor- we're not ignorant of the fact that its a hard pill to swallow for some folks. Each year, we end up sticking with it because (a) character and work ethic are not seniority or pay driven (ex. the Wells Fargo bankers getting term'ed for trying to cheat at work), (b) it provides significant trust for clients, and (c) it allows us to have fully remote people around the globe in a way that most companies cannot.

Pros

- Good pay - Team is great - Excellent organization

Cons

- Time tracking software is very invasive (screenshots every 5 to 10 min, mouse and keyboard tracking, camera must always be on while on work hours) - KPIs can be too demanding - Workload can be too heavy (I was managing around 15 accounts at one point)
