Pros

New CEO. Hopefully he makes big changes

Cons

Very bad management. They continue to be scammed by a CIO who is clueless when it comes to IT. He only cares about getting his company car, a paid apartment while he lives out of state, and a nice salary. This CIO brings in more clueless people he calls Directors. The IT department is so focused on Business Analysts instead of producing results. The business units don't need a babysitter to get in the way of doing something their unit is capable of doing themselves. Another waste of resources. They need to focus more on building stronger systems instead of dancing around waiting on everything to fail before hiring contractors or even outsourcing to Indian based companies who have a direct personal connection to the CIO. Who is cheating who? Management continues to use bully tactics towards employees. Not just IT. HR does this as well. Don't feel safe with HR either. HR always backs the management. Stay clear of the company. They use a handbook that states it's up to management discretion for all rules. They don't apply to everyone. They also divide the raises up based on their favorite employees and not by performance.

Pros

Perks benefits time off weekly pay

Cons

No job security, hateful management, can be fired at anytime for anything, management lies, HR lies, management retaliation. Management cares more about company image than anything else.
