Pros

Good company to work for. Good place to learn, decisions are supported. Support for working mothers/flexible work time. Telecommuting allowed when necessary. Can work evening/weekends from home to make up work schedules. Work looked at objectively for reviews. Reviews are frequent. Development plans are made and employees encouraged to grow. Management can make good (even tough) decision when necessary.

Cons

Outsourcing continuing. Layoffs, cost cutting in progress. Low ratings can be given even to good workers if everyone in the team is doing well as a certain percentage of people must be given low ratings. While development plans can be made, ability to grow in direction wanted by employee is sometimes difficult.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
