Company raises flushed down the toilet

Pros

Relaxed environment and good place to build resume experience for out of college grads.

Cons

Several years of raises that constantly fall below 1 and 2 percent of salary across the board in all departments. Management has blamed economy and senior management. Meanwhile Applied has made two major acquisitions and spent renovations on granite counter topped bathrooms and a top heavy staff of VPs.

Extremely boring repetitive work without obvious value

Pros

New CEO ended the drug test policy which could be a good thing but I don't use drugs. This company likes to hire people out of college which is good for new grads since very few companies want to do this anymore. Company retains elderly employees Easy commute if you live in south suburbs

Cons

CEO Reid French hires all his buddies into top positions in the company over people who are doing a great job such as the last Marketing VP. Low salary that does not increase proportionally to your responsibilities. Trying to implement agile as a new development strategy when agile is meant for projects much smaller than epic. Monitors your internet usage. Company has been known to over promise and under deliver to clients in sales.

Pros

On a person by person basis, The people are great to work with. Most everyone in my department is laid back and relaxed. Easy drive from my town. Extreme amounts of information, if you enjoy learning.

Cons

Lack of communication between departments - Work orders are often vague and ambiguous, which often cause problems within our entry level department. Low Pay / High Responsibility - Our entry level department has full administrative rights for both data centers. Anyone else see a problem? Lack of trust - A camera has been installed at our desk (group desk of 4) to watch client media. This camera does not point at the media, it points directly at our desks, media completely outside of camera's sight. But I guess we are an entry level department..
