Pros
A regular paycheck, benefits that are not great but are better than nothing, HQ is located in an excellent area and easily accessible by metro
Kontras
Poor performers are not only tolerated but promoted including managers. In Research we did 360 reviews and the worst managers who received the worst ratings were...promoted! Dinosaurs who do not move with the times or live in the real world. Little to no oversight of the telecommuters who misuse it, do the bare minimum to get by, and are praised to high heaven for the efforts. Some departments are better than others. Research is absurd and should be avoided unless you can get a cake job in state research, telecommute from anywhere, get a great paycheck, and do as little as possible. I once called a stater on her telecommute day and she was…in the car on the way to get a massage! Another was shopping.
