Pros
Job with short commute . Girls there are very beautiful . 20% off Rogaine . VP at Avaya becomes CTO of cvs and CVS buy Avaya phones . RI two step at its best. Active active data center means two people get called when the crap they put in fails . Let's not forget windows XP and nortel VPN. Oh and custom 10-20 year old cobalt programs on mainframes .
Cons
How about a phone system 3-4 versions behind . A fortune 10 company with digital phones . Cannot even forward calls.They still run phone cables in corporate . Ever hear of VoIP ? We have active dialup credit card lines. You have to support Obama . Cvs stands to make a ton of money from obamacare apparently . Our standard server is crap but it's what our guys know so it must be the best right. Server still run 2003 windows . Office 2007 is latest . My laptop is 5-6 years old 4 gab ram and xp. Took 9 months to get desk . Took 6 months to get VPN access. Had claim refused because I did not goto clinic instead of doctor. Cvs hired company to review every claim . They call you and ask why you went to doctor and can deny a claim if they feel you should have gone to clinic apparently . Bonus are arbitrary. If your manager doesn't like you oh well . Managers and directors are not leaders and do what the top execs want . It's a puppet kingdom where you are darned either way . It's cya 24/7 . Decisions based on ego and archaic outdated ideas. Most senior managers are not technical . My cable modem is faster than the only data link connecting data centers . 150 billion company and they balk at spending 2,000,000 to upgrade store connectivity and security. A campus parking ticket for parking in visitor lot when going between. Buildings could cost you your bonus. It hen there is collection notices that have gone out to people when they are out sick or medical leave .
