Pros
Management is more concerned with their "friends" instead of running departments correctly. You can stay under the radar and avoid the crap show. You can stay to yourself because management is clueless.
Cons
Completely unprofessional. I worked at ESI as a contract worker. I watched under educated and unqualified contractors be offered positions because management "liked how they dressed" or "liked how they fit into the office clique". Meanwhile, the other contract workers did the majority of the department work and were expected to work a minimum of 50 hours a week during the year. Middle management are a complete joke and departments are ran like high school clique groups and not like a professionally ran company. THIS is why George Paz has one of the lowest percentages of all CEO's in America. The rate of compensation no where NEAR matches the work load responsibilities asked of employees. ESI is arrogant enough to think that they can keep burning through employees by hiring naive college students who don't know they are being screwed on their pay. It makes me laugh to know that the Medco system transition has been a complete nightmare for ESI and how much money they've lost due to the lack of unqualified management making decisions that never worked on the floor. Hey ESI, a lot of your problems stem from your middle management. How about you talk directly to the workers instead of these compulsive liars you call your Team Leads. I've met over 10 people since I left ESI and I've not heard one good experience about working there. When ESI loses its contract with the Department of Defense and other government agencies, I hope the Feds sue the living hell out of you.
