Pros

Hours and pay are pretty decent.They are all for nothing though.

Cons

Worked here and thought it was impressive but i started working.I fully regret getting this job and wasting my time.I would work extremely hard and always doing what the supervisor told us to do.I did everything they wanted.I decided to leave as they let people go for not doing the job right?The people did everything they were supposed to do.They say your doing it right then they release you the next day?Many people quit the job and i then decided to leave myself as i will not work for someone who does not care about there workers.

Pros

- Great work/life balance. - Great teammembers (outside of IT management) - Near market pay. - Good health coverage. - Annual Christmas tool raffle/prizes. - Professional development/e-learning materials are provided. - Working in a beautiful and modern facility (clean and well-kept)

Cons

- Toxic motivation practices by IT management (threats of termination, frequent negative reinforcement, calling out a mistake in a large email group with the intent to embarass the employee rather than addressing it one-on-one, asking other employees their opinion about another employee that is late once what they think about the tardy), - Misleading employees about new opportunities that don't materialize. - Micromanagement practices (reviewing every support incident, reprimanding after a single Teams message sent during a lunch break), - No performance-based raises. - No bonuses (except an $85 gift card annually). - Little-to-no advancement opportunities (layoffs to reduce headcounts were performed in 2023). - Very minimal (almost non-existent) training and sparse knowledge base documentation for new hires. It is mostly sink or swim. - No performance metrics or SLA to determine employee performance. Performance is often measured by emotions and the personal relationship with management.
