Pros

There is a lot of business in the pipeline. Pay is competitive Benefits are OK, no eyeglass coverage Employees work hard and do good. Most people have been there for years 10+

Cons

24/7/365 work culture Management does not forecast revenue and expenses well. When they miss they lay off staff to meet budget. On Call Duty=Tired Admin. 200-500 pages a week Culture does not support comp time for excessive work hours. I can work 80 hour a week for 3 weeks and then I have to take a vacation day to recover. Policies are not consistently applied to people Very political environment recognition, promotions salary given to successful politicians Even though Mgmt says they are an operations company they cannot shake the project company paradigm 2 weeks vacation to start. You get 1 day more for each year after 5 yrs(10 years 3 weeks) and at 1 day more per 2 years (10-20yrs) max out at 4 weeks after 20. Senior management doesn't know what they want - 2 management employees hired in the last year who were each fired after less than 12 working days

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
