Pros
Free coffee. If you have children, they will qualify for free lunch with this salary. You can pick your own hours. You get a laptop to use and take home. Great job for smokers. Close to the park if you want to go for a walk.
Cons
Bad coffee. Mgmt is a joke and the owner's number one concern is investment opportunities, not employees. TE is a start company that promises opportunity for growth. Although you get promoted, you will not get a raise. Everyone makes $13-15 an hour, despite education and experience. Many people have multiple degrees and yet they hire someone out of high school for the same pay. Only work here while you look for something else. There are no policies and procedures written, yet they have strict and ridiculous rules that change with the weather. The first wave of hire began in March and still no raises and no 401k in place as they promised. They told us it would be in effect by May and still nothing. You also have to bring your own office supplies because they will only give you a pen...and don't lose it bc it's a scavenger hunt to find a new one. There isn't a printer either. Dress code is supposed to be professional---on a $13 an hour salary--yeah right. Women had to wear pantyhose but that recently changed. First and second wave hires are mostly checked out. Most already looking for other opportunities. Too many promises with this company that they just could not deliver. Most employees were hopeful and optimistic. I've wasted my time hoping this was a career investment opportunity. Don't make the same mistake.
