You get 7 days off, if management ever lets you go home.
Cons
This company is so understaffed it’s impossible to have anything done. Micro-managed to a T. They run a program called “Click” accounts for every second of your day.

Flexible schedule of office & remote
Cons
Poor upper management and lack of career advancement opportunities

Pros
You get a $3 food voucher every day as of when I last worked in Houston. You don’t have to make any decisions yourself because your micromanaging boss will make them for you. Work/life balance is pretty good because you don’t have much responsibility.
Cons
Extensive layers of management that make every day feel like Office Space. Minimal career advancement. Sub-standard total compensation. Inability to make decisions and complete lack of opportunity to advance.
