Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Decent product and support. Wide array of technologies, large domestic footprint. Very good technical support on the Hotline call in service.

Cons

You need to accept you are only a number, there is no personal identity. They believe it is ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE. The truth is that People, are the ones who create the bottom line. The term micro managed is an understatement. There were more UN kept promises than there are minutes in a year. The regional/local management were in so far over their heads, they had to lay on their backs to see daylight.

Pros

It's a job. There are some great people to work with. Unfortunately they don't outnumber those who are not. Peers claim the benefits are great. My experience, I don't think so. It's a large company so it's easy to be lost if you're someone who abhors notice or spotlight. If you are easily satisfied or like to drift by in the anonymity of a large corporation this is the job for you.

Cons

Stagnant pay. Bonus... not anymore. Training, that's gone too. Performance completely unrecognized. Management responsibility is thrust on the employee as if it's a privilege to do their work. Expectation is that you're on call 24x7 and because you have no life you can go where they point at a moments notice. If you as an employee don't have enough resources or time to complete your work well that must be a fault of the employee not management.
