Pros

BSC actually has good benefits.

Cons

If you are thinking about working for the site in Alpharetta, Georgia, maybe reconsider. You are not treated with respect there unless you are Senior or higher. They expect you to understand how the processes work and don’t bother providing informational training and when you ask for help, you are met with condescension. The environment is also very high pressure and stressful. Management acts like they are here to support you, but it is all performative. When I expressed feeling overwhelmed, my manager said “All of your counterparts have more work than you and they aren’t complaining.” Come to find out, I am not the only engineer she said that to. When a quality tech and I compared our salaries, I was only making a couple thousand more than her yearly. Mind you, I am a quality engineer with an engineering degree. A quality tech position does not even require a degree so why would we be within the same pay range? Additionally, when they advertised the job opening to replace me, the salary advertised was about 15K more than what I was being paid. Also, this site doesn’t have much room for growth AT ALL as far as exploring other functions and opportunities. Lastly, the worst part is you will constantly be watching toxic people with multiple HR complaints against them being promoted and not properly dealt with which let’s me know that this company is comfortable with the toxic work environment that they have created.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
