Pros
No supervision my last 7-8 months there after they fired my manager with no explanation. Didn't ever replace them or promote from within so I was able to do pretty much whatever I wanted. CB was a great company and I enjoyed being part of a very strong and unified team within IT until Apollo acquisition.
Cons
Not sure where to even begin. It's been over a year now since leaving so I've had time to fully reflect on the mess IT became after the acquisition and I can't really put it into words. All teams within IT continue to shrink and management’s expectations continue to rise with no compensation for those left to pick up all the work. The amount of talent that has left IT in the past 2-3 years is absolutely insane, and it's even more insane that management has done next to nothing to replace those positions and left it to the poor souls still hanging around to pick up the slack. I really can't imagine how Anthony thinks it’s possible to support the hundreds of users at the company's main office with less than 3 support techs on site and no management/supervision at that location for well over a year now. It was hard enough when there was a full team of 5-6 of us, now the Chicago support team will soon have a grand total of 1 technician. Actually, I can imagine it...it's because every salary cut is money saved and closer to EBITA goals so of course management doesn't bother with the fact that top talent continues to leave and then makes no effort to replace them. Anthony, congratulations on destroying IT and crushing morale to the point where almost no one is left and those still around are all searching and praying every day to get out. You’ve done a marvelous job.
