Pros

Many of the companies we contracted out to were amazing to work with. Some of the senior management seemed down to earth, reasonable. Great learning experience. I do recommend this for any young, single person wanting to get great experience and will accept little pay.

Cons

One the company website they state that their motto is, “Our people are our most valuable assets”. I never once felt that way after I signed the offer letter. They value results, which any company does, but at the expense of their employees lives, work/life balance and sanity. Work hours were 60-90hrs/wk. Being a family man, I struggled with this and upon stressing my concerns was once told - wife at home, mistress on the road. I think I knew then I wouldn't last long. Pay was horrible for the hourly commitment per week. Many of the operational tactics for completing a project were outdated at best.

We are thankful that you took the time to provide us with a review. We genuinely care about the feedback we receive, and it is critically important to us as we grow to make sure we do not lose sight of the values that we have been trying to build the company on for almost 20 years. Work/Life balance is a struggle for many organizations and ours is no different. The fact that many of our projects involve out of state travel and require a significant amount of work to be done in a short time frame only adds to the challenges. We would like to let you know that over the past two years we have rolled out a number of training programs, some have been for specific departments and some for all team members, including a recent extensive, three (3)-day workshop in which our entire field staff was present to participate. We also began holding various team building events for specific departments as well as inter-departmentally so that certain team members that never previously had a chance to meet (only corresponding by email) were able to spend time getting to know each other, breaking bread, and developing stronger bonds.

Pros

Ability to move up, teamwork environment, a healthy competitive culture to be great. Great individuals to work with. Ability to openly communicate with upper management.

Cons

Just like any job, some days are stressful. That is just part of this line of work, I don't see it as a con.

Pros

Nothing positive to say about this company. Probably the free donuts every Friday is the only good thing I can think of.

Cons

Worst place ever to work! Troy the senior accountant is extremely unprofessional and does nothing but watches YouTube all day on his downtime. He’s extremely emotional for a manager and brings his personal life into work. Not to mention, he refers to his superiors as the B word when things don’t go his way. There’s so much more to say but if you are under his position, DO NOT TRUST HIM at all.
