Pros

the only two positive things about Emergo are the 23 days of PTO (which includes sick days as well), however, this benefit will eventually disappear in 2019 when Emergo will transfer over to UL's benefits, which are actually worse (but management of course does not openly disclose that) and the flextime

Cons

- very low pay: the amount of work you are expected to handle and the responsibilities that you have certainly is not reflected in the salary (almost impossible to make a living here in Austin) - no incentives, bonuses or noteworthy raises for a job well done, instead they dump even more work on you (without a warning) - there have been profound changes going on on a weekly basis, most of these changes will have people struggle even more with their ever-increasing workload - if you are not into kissing butts you won't make it far - management LOVES to sugarcoat questionable decisions when in fact everyone knows that the outcome is a setback - they are slowly taking away everything that was good about this company - favoritism reigns

Pros

Flexible hours, opportunities to move up, good benefits

Cons

Not a lot of guidance of job expectations, so many possibilities of failure and not fulfilling expectations. You need to figure things out for yourself and hope you are doing it correctly.

Not a bad place to start out but...

Pros

PTO 23 days, standard healthcare. Occasional office parties. Not a bad place to be starting off in your career. Most people quickly realize (around 9m-1y. mark) that most of the managers will not want you to move up and a lot of the workforce (very young) will feel stuck. Currently being acquired by UL so hopefully it will be a positive influence .

Cons

Extremely low pay, managers do not want you to grow, zero training. Management style varies. So many managers pretend they have so much work/overworked so they push things off to employees but they spend a good chunk of time watching youtube videos. I have been on copy when some managers are extremely rude to employees or consultants. Goodluck if you have a family. They are not understanding and refuse to let anyone work from home but some managers do work remotely on a regular basis.
