Pros

-If this is your first time job you will learn real fast that hard work does not pay, and you will learn about the politics of working a slave wage job. -Employee deaths are emailed to everyone regularly, this is to help employees watch out for potential promotions.

Cons

-Everyone hates their job, including managers. Most all of the older managers want 0 innovation as this would cause for them to learn something. Management wants a stable income and desk level employees better not interfere with this. -Useless managers. Majority of the management is absolutely useless and are disrespectfully detached from the desk level employees that do 100% of the work. 100% of responsibility is held at the desk level. Supervisors and Managers are not held accountable as they technically only oversee their accounts and don't directly interact with anything. -Promotion is based on favoritism. If you don't get regular small talk from a manager that likes you, quit immediately. -Low pay. -Difficult to leave due to low pay. -Non-flexible hours, you can neither be 1 minute late or early. Mandatory 1 hour lunch. -Reprimanded for going on vacation. -People show up to work while they are sick as using sick time is frowned upon. You must call in sick and confirm to them that you are sick. -Mandatory overtime. You cannot leave until the job is done.

Pros

An excellent work environment for military veterasn. The benefits are a little below what other companies in the region offer.

Cons

There is no defined human resources department. Instead, each department administers employee hiring and firing. This creates a problem if there are specific HR issues such as discrimination, where one of my colleagues was harassed for his age and wearing thick glasses.He was told to talk it out with his supervisor (who'd done the harassing), and was asked to sign a health-related "I need special accommodations" form, which his attorney advised against. The employee's name was conveniently forgotten when a promotion was available.

Pros

Free health insurance, that's about it.

Cons

Most rigid and bureaucratic work environment I've ever been involved with. They sweat the little things and lose sight of the big/major things - like retaining clients. Way too many meetings and far too little client interaction. Their "requirements" for the sales cycle bog everything down and lead to missed opportunities. Get rid of your horrible internal CRM and go with an off the shelf version that actually works.
