Pros
After proof of salary from the contractor I worked for previously, they offered me a few hundred dollars per year more.
Cons
After the initial offer of employment letter (which was for the wrong work location in the wrong state), I was verbally told about a "Monthly On Goal Performance Bonus" which despite performance, never was delivered. I was also placed on-call 24x7, which I agreed to because of the $40 per day on-call pay that the Employee Manual establishes. After 15 months, that hasn't been paid either, despite endless pleas to management. Additionally, after this same amount of time, no one in my group or a related group has had a performance review, let alone a raise. If you can't get what you need for compensation up front, you never will. Overtime pay is calculated on a quasi-legal basis where you start out getting paid half time (not time and a half...half) for the first hour of overtime and then it goes DOWN from there. Look up the Fair Labor Standards Act "Fluctuating Workweek" method of overtime pay calculation if you want to be shocked at what is legal...that's what you'll get. This company got big by being the cheapest and you don't get to be the cheapest by paying your employees or living up to promises.
