Pros

The only good thing left is the benefits. All other benefits have been slowly taken away.

Cons

Sneaky, disrespectful managers with selective memory. They tell you one thing one day and deny ever saying it the next. God forbid you have any criticism the only thing this gets you is a bullseye on your back. Upper management has taken every perk away from the employees only to turn around and give themselves bonuses raises and unlimited days off. The workload is unachievable no matter how many hours you work. When the company does well on an audit the managers will take the credit. If they are bad the lowest employees are to blame. I would say only take a job here if it is your last resort.

Pros

This review is for the Nurtur subsidiary in Dallas. My co-workers are great. The atmosphere and workplace is great.

Cons

No standard processes. No development/test environment. The database called "B-I" is a free-for-all, with people developing directly in the system being used by the users. This DB was designed by someone who had no idea what a true BI system is. The code is replete with cursors, dynamic SQL. Applications keep being developed in access (by this mgr) and then must be supported by IT.

Pros

Benefits are okay...although most companies are more "up and coming" with their benefits. There are some good people left; although most are being "run off" by the leadership.

Cons

Leadership follows a very disciplinarian style. Threatens employees of disciplinary action to motivate instead of leading with respect. Very old, authoritative leadership style from the 80's is seen across all levels. Many leaders have very unrealistic expectations of their employees and are expected to work 60-70 hour work weeks. There is no work-life balance...nor is it encouraged.
