Pros
- The pay was very competitive for my range, although it might have been because I was part of an acquisition (of which they had several) and the pay didn't change from one company to another - Pay and advancement opportunities depended on lot which manager you get. I had a good one, so + - During the acquisition, they (at least) said they were understanding of challenges
Cons
- The hours consistently increases as they cut more and more of any support services we had, despite the fact that employees were complaining across departments that the workload was excessive - We did not receive proper training for the systems, which one of their platform trainers admitted to - In some of the training, they made us do a recorded song and dance about the company in an effort to show company pride to other branches but were told it was mandatory???? - Typical superficial "we're all family" stuff from management, which you'll get in every company, but it was particularly offensive coming from a company that 1) cared so little about its employees and 2) put such little effort and money into at least trying to create a better work atmosphere - Never knew what was going on with the company. They sent out these emails about who they hired recently in upper or upper-middle management, or if they made an acquisition, but it usually didn't affect me. For larger things, I ended up finding out by googling the company and seeing an article a week before they sent us the email or told supervisors. - All in all, like many place without work/life balance, it was a depressing atmosphere with unhappy people
