Pros

Nice campus Some great coworkers who know the work and could do wonders if not so micro managed.

Cons

Forced distribution curves with no justification required as to why you received the rating you received. Don't be fooled it's a giant game to mgt. Their calibration should be illegal. Old technology Old processes. If Excel suddenly didn't exist this company couldn't function. Horrible back stabbing management who plays politics and will dig your grave rather than support you. If you are the type that normally excels, management's personal agenda will stop you in your tracks. You won't excel here. If you are a yes man/woman and just nod your head yes everyday you may excel. If you want to use your brain and education to propel you, you will fail. No strategy across lines of businesses. The duplication of efforts would make for a great master's thesis. Where is the strategy?

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
