Vantaggi
Entry level position. It's available...umm....the last shreds of your dignity are gone when you walk into the place for the first time, so no fear of losing that.
Svantaggi
Any position where that the hiring manager treats like a sales pitch is usually not a good sign. I had just moved to New York to and started working there as sort of a "I'll work here until something better comes along" scenario. Here are a list of dishonest practices and huge cons: 1. A faultly pay system. A coder will make a "base" of 8 dollars an hour, but earn up to fifteen an hour based on how much he codes. More "points" are deducted from his coding for mistakes, thus taking his pay down. The 15 is virtually out of reach and most employees at the 8 an hour flat rate will make between 8 and 9 bucks. 2. Dishonest about vacation. After working at competitrack for 6 months, I was denied vacation because I did not average 40 hours a week. Instead, my average was roughly 39.8 hours I KID YOU NOT! 3. Terrible hours. Shifts start at 6:30 AM. Remember, this is an office! 4. Stingy management: End of year raises were suspended for all workers due to "poor economy" two years ago. In short, Competitrack is one of the worst companies at exploiting workers I have ever seen. They have a health care plan no employees can afford, horrible hours and bad pay. I've worked professional white collar jobs for the past 8 years(I manage 7 full time employees and a budget now), and this is the single worst job I've ever had.
