      Pros

      Not many since the merger with First Advantage and STG. Middle mgmt gets it and understands people. Flexibility is awesome- work from home.

      Cons

      No support from executives. Broken processes- many client failure points. internal teams support is lacking and slow. No formal training. Too many move the shell games and politics so upper leader looks good verses what's really going on. No reporting. Finance poorly run. CRM system broken "Siebel."

      Really?

      Pros

      Disconnected management never knew if I was doing my job or not. Made for many early days. Benefits actually decent which is a surprise given they strip everything else away. Great business lesson in where NOT to work!

      Cons

      Rather than rattle off a very long list of cons, I'll keep it simple: Avoid this company even if you are desperate for a job. Besides, nobody knows how long they'll last because tomorrow your job could be in India or sourced out to a PT temp. Clea example of capitalism at it's worse.

      Good place to work

      Pros

      Overall a good place to work with the flexibility to work on my own and get the job done. Pressure to produce and meet sales goals, but if you were successful, they let you have much more flexibility.

      Cons

      The overall direction of the company is a question, as there were multiple organization changes and lack of communication.
