Pros

At least you are not unemployed.

Cons

One of the prerequisites to be a manager in IT is a complete lack of technical ability. Pay scale is determined by who you are buddies with and how long you have been there...not what you know or what you are capable of. The Service Desk is scared of any real troubleshooting and could be replaced by a checklist monkey. No one can agree on IT strategy. No one can agree on infrastructure. No one can agree on policy. There is no data retention limitations! Users are encouraged to store .pst files on the network! A mentality of "The sky is falling" runs rampant. If you have no self standards, no self dignity, or never want to be held accountable working for someone who doesn't know anything about your job function in an extremely mediocre workplace that has no logic when it comes to pay scale CPS Energy is the place for you!
