Pros

Lots of fun, and you get to work with great people in a great environment. It is a very good place to work overall.

Cons

The pay is, quite frankly, terrible. It makes it almost impossible to live without a second job. In addition, the advancement rate is staggeringly low.

Advice to Management

A pay scale that rewards staying with the company would help to boost employee retention. For example, after working for a month, bump pay from $9 to $9.50. After three months, $10. After 6 months, $11. This would greatly boost employee morale and give employees the ability and motivation to stay with the company for greater periods of time.

Also, a pay bump to returning employees would be highly beneficial and also greatly boost the number of returning testers.
