Pros

BSC actually has good benefits.

Cons

If you are thinking about working for the site in Alpharetta, Georgia, maybe reconsider. You are not treated with respect there unless you are Senior or higher. They expect you to understand how the processes work and don’t bother providing informational training and when you ask for help, you are met with condescension. The environment is also very high pressure and stressful. Management acts like they are here to support you, but it is all performative. When I expressed feeling overwhelmed, my manager said “All of your counterparts have more work than you and they aren’t complaining.” Come to find out, I am not the only engineer she said that to. When a quality tech and I compared our salaries, I was only making a couple thousand more than her yearly. Mind you, I am a quality engineer with an engineering degree. A quality tech position does not even require a degree so why would we be within the same pay range? Additionally, when they advertised the job opening to replace me, the salary advertised was about 15K more than what I was being paid. Also, this site doesn’t have much room for growth AT ALL as far as exploring other functions and opportunities. Lastly, the worst part is you will constantly be watching toxic people with multiple HR complaints against them being promoted and not properly dealt with which let’s me know that this company is comfortable with the toxic work environment that they have created.

Pros

Work from home - decent pay

Cons

Your every move is micromanaged and every mistake is magnified and pointed out on a daily basis. The company gives lots of vacation time, but doesn’t allow you to use it and takes forever to approve it when they do. The rest of the company gets benefits like “beat the heat” summer hours, except for the department I worked in, which was unfair. The level of perfection required is impossible and everyone is worried about covering their tracks and will throw co-workers under the bus. Terrible place to work.

Pros

Amazing work/life balance, variety of tasks and developmental opportunities, and some of the best people I've ever worked with in my 12+ year career! BSC is definitely an employer that cares about it's employees and it's customers. It's wonderful being part of an organization that gives back so much to both groups!

Cons

Some typical struggles in a large organization of changes or solutions taking some time to implement or get answers/assistance to questions.
