Pros

Great benefits, good work atmosphere, most folks put in an honest day's worth of work

Cons

Benefits constantly being reworked and getting more expensive, compensation is below average. There are pockets of nepotism all over the place, senior managers in IT have setup mini fiefdoms and sometimes seem to waste time battling each other's 'turfs'.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
