Overworked, no work life balance

Pros

Benefits, work from home if corp team member, working for fortune 500 company.

Cons

Constant outsourcing and restructuring, small raises, no work life balance, long work days, short handed, unrealistic expectations by management, excessive amounts of managers and senior managers have recently been hired not enough worker bees as they outsource them all. Hopefully they can "manage" their way out.

Pros

Great culture, recognition and the company promotes team work.

Cons

The culture will drown out the negatives of a lot of bad stuff. First thing, instead of pay raises they did a blanket raise of 1.5% acrossed the company. The computer systems are so outdated and unsecure. Every thing runs on the cloud environment. Windows 7 terminals and windows server 2008. The registers crash multiple times a day. When you submitted a ticket you were contacted several hours later by a support person who could barley speak English. Ths parts catalog was all but useless. Next was company resources. If you needed to contact anybody outside of your direct supervisor , such as HR or IT. You had to submit a ticket and get ready to wait. Most people with experience start off at $10 an hour. Most GMs start at 40k a year. Pay raises are almost never given. They just installed cameras in the delivery vehicles. Which watch you live. You speed over 5mph more than 3 times your terminated on the spot. They use the cameras as intimidation. They don't stock their DCs well. Constant shortages and no stock to order in. This company does not like free thinkers. It's there way or no way PERIOD.
