Pros

Great pay, great benefits, World class Fortune 500 Company, but many complaints.

Cons

High turnover rate especially in certain departments. Frustrated managers punish the innocent as well as the guilty. Good employees are rarely recognized and many of the really bad ones never seem to get in trouble. I've seen some of the best temps get let go and some of the worst people get hired. Management very shortsighted and reactive in their response to issues and conditions.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
