Pros

There are none, other than they win many contracts based solely on undercutting the other bidders in terms of price. In the end though, you are treated simply as a disposable asset to be used and thrown away at their leisure.

Cons

As the title says, where do I start? 1. You are an hourly employee. Let me qualify this before they respond. My paycheck was consistent when I started, as every pay period was 11 days. I found out that I was an hourly employee at Christmas when I took time off, and was 2.5 hours short of the 88. They did not allow me to go in the negative for 24 hours, even though I had another 5 hours coming to me at the end of the pay period on December 31st. My paycheck was less the amount for that 2.5 hours. Being an hourly employee became most evident when I worked an 80 pay period(and even more so in February when there was a 72 hour pay period). Also, the SOW stated very clearly that TMR employees were only allowed to work the allotted hours in the pay period, and NEVER any overtime. 2. Their PTO and Leave policy is ridiculous. You need to fill out a request on paper to take any time off, and they are under the silly assumption that they can actually say no. I had almost 7 hours of "Personal Leave" in my account the day I left. They conveniently don't pay out your personal leave THAT YOU HAVE EARNED when you leave. That would have been nice to know ahead of time, as I would have used it for important family medical appointments during my last 2 weeks. 3. Let me give you a quote verbatim from their HR manual: "You are allotted 3 days of paid bereavement leave to be taken as Personal Leave." My baby boy died 24 days into his short and wonderful life. I had been with the company only 2 weeks. Did I get 3 days to mourn my son and prepare for his funeral? That answer is a loud and resounding NO! I had to telecommute from home for the three days leading up to his funeral, and used the minimal vacation and personal leave hours I had accrued to bury my son. The only words I have for that are despicable and unconscionable. 4. I could go on, but I think these 3 points make it clear that this is a company that you should avoid at all costs.

Pros

There are some great people that work there. I just don't know why they work there.

Cons

The CEO. I liken working at TMR to being an unfairly parented young child. You only get the punishments, you don't get the treats. I'm not sure how employees stay motivated.You never know when you do anything right, but will quickly know when you did something wrong. You will work harder, not smarter. You will get less accomplished because of this, but then be accused of doing nothing. You must be willing to gravel in submission to feed her ambition. So, let me ask a few questions and make a few comments all at the same time. Since everyone in the company reports to one person, it would behoove that person to be in every interview, (yes, or no?). Being in every interview might increase retention since everyone has to work the same way she prefers to work (yes, or no?). I would think that one would create a hierarchy (yes, or no?). You should exercise your authority for more than dictating and terminating (yes, or no?). I can't speak for anyone else, but money doesn't motiviate me enough to be at a place like this. I'd rather be broke. It's interesting because, if my skills are on point (which I know they are), she probably thinks everyone who posts here is just another disgtruntled employee that got fired. This is laughable to me, because she doesn't know that you're better off that way. I would never be disgruntled about leaving here, whether I quit or got fired. I'd just know that I never should have started in the first place. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
