Pros

People are great. Having your birthday off came back this year, as well as the 1% we lost last year due to the economy.

Cons

At first I was excited to be working for a well known, word wide company like Xerox. It didn't take me long to realize I should not have gotten my hopes up. Pay is not competitive. The hard workers are the ones that need to defend themselves while the 'other workers' are the ones that get a break. Since the pay cut last year, they took away the education program. From what I understand, everyone starts as a contractor, and with the 'hiring freeze' they will not hire anyone on, no matter how valuable you are. Even before the hiring freeze, they were very reluctant to hire, and would rather keep a big pool of contractors. Depending on your position, there is not much room for growth.

Pros

Big company with solid benefits

Cons

Pay is not on par with competition and raises are very hard to get. If you don't get what you are looking for when hired you will likely never get it.
