Mediocre, but could be so much more

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Young culture and extracurricular activities are geared toward that. Atmosphere is light and loose. The potential here is staggering ... if they can reach it remains to be seen. There are many things that we do well. But many, many others that we simply get by on brute force.

Cons

Quantity over quality is the name of the game. Focus is on turning out code, which is often sub-par. It is not a collaborative environment. Not just between individual development teams, but between the business and the analysts, the analysts and the developers, and between development teams. We simply do not work well together to compliment each other. Pay and benefits in IT is mediocre, especially given the hours and effort expended, turnover is high. No investment in training for IT staff. Not on the business. Not ongoing technical training.

Pros

Young atmosphere constant change, and Beer Friday.

Cons

Where to begin: For starters, the 'Logistics Sales Trainee' period is outrageous. 6 months of managers the same age as you making you feel replaceable. The training period is going through rotations for 6 months, doing jobs they don't want to hire actual full time employees for. In short, you upload documents for 6 months and then do one week of sales training and get thrown on the sales floor and are expected to make all these goals when you have very little guidance. The atmosphere is so young that promotions are based on favoritism, not because the person actually deserved it. Communication between departments is terrible, I would even say there is no communication period. The pay is horrible and not competitive to other Logistic companies in Chicago. The only way they make up for wasting 6 months of your life is bringing in beer on Fridays mid-afternoon.
