Pros

Great pay, a lot of the facilities are not state so a bit safer, and they have almost unlimited overtime (80 per a week/160 per pay period)

Cons

Stupid amount of overtime because people keep quitting do to overtime, terrible medical insurance, and the company refuses to pay for extra employees so we cannot just get 12 hour shifts instead of 8s that become 16s

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
