Pros
I enjoyed having a flexible schedule as a licensing worker with CPES. There's not a lot of micro-management that occurs here. This was my first job out of college, so you don't need a lot of experience to get in the door.
Kontras
There is *zero* formalized training offered by CPES that goes along with this position. It's very much "sink or swim"; I had to learn as I went. My immediate supervisor didn't know how to perform 90% of my job functions--he had to defer me to other people with my job title who had been there longer than I had. It makes no sense to me that a program manager should be able to supervise employees (and make more money than them) while not understanding the functions of the job. By the end of my three and a half years here, he was asking me how to do aspects of HIS job. Upper management has very little understanding of how to run a business and keep employees happy. High turnover. Company has poor management skills and poor financial success.
