Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, 52000 starting

Cons

Loosing hundreds of millions every year. Restructuring constantly. Uptight managment fear loosing their jobs. That fear is evident. 40 year old technology still used. I was fired after 2 weeks for lack of proffessionalism . Personality ENTP. Company is the opposite of innovative.

Pros

Valued my expertise and knowledge, so I was left alone and did my job. But flip side was managers didn't utilize my skills well - felt isolated as a result .

Cons

Pay (30% lower than my prior jobs) and benefits (vacation pay 'starts to accrue' only AFTER 1 full yr on job - so had to work 1.5 yrs before I could take any paid time off). More concerned about profits than people - especially managers who even made it hard to buy paperclips. Peers were caught up in CYA, so never shared information or offered to help. HR didn't know what they were doing and rarely followed up. IT took too long to solve access and problem issues. Poor morale among hourly workers. Lots of favoritism. Felt like corporate was overseas and not concerned about US ops.
