Pros
Some of the friendliest coworkers I've ever had. PTO accumulates quickly. It's a sleeper job --you cannot get fired from this place. If you're just starting out, this is a great company to begin a career with. Get your 6 months of experience on your resume` and move on to bigger and better. The employees have always been friendly and helpful. Even after leaving the company, I still maintain close friendships with many of my former co-workers.
Cons
The pay is ABYSMAL. Turnover rates are on par with minimum wage retail outlets because of this (50-70% annually, at last estimation). After 5 years of employment, my salary had fallen so far behind the market average that it would have taken a 60% increase to bring me up to the median *starting* salary for my position at any other company in the area. Advancement is not merit-based. Extreme favoritism is shown to the top 5% of the company, the rest go overlooked, regardless of achievement. Raises and bonuses are communistic; all employees basically get the same regardless of performance. Such practices do not encourage anyone to excel. Management constantly lies to employees to get them to stay with the company as long as possible. Promotions and raises are promised that never come. Improvements (especially in the technology sector) are always "coming" or "in progress" but never happen. I worked in numerous contract positions before joining TFCU. Of the 30+ companies/departments I've worked for in the last 20 years, the Network Services department at Truliant is easily the worst department I have ever been a part of. Too much management in areas that don't need it (security), too little management in areas that do need it (helpdesk). There is no cohesiveness amongst the teams in this department. The work environment as at best, awkward, and at worst, combative.
