Pros

You always knew what was coming everyday, so there were rarely any surprises. The work was pretty easy and non-challenging, and my manager was a pretty nice guy. It was never a problem to ask for time off. Benefits are also very good, with 3 weeks vacation and a great health/dental package paid for 75% of the way.

Cons

Higher levels of management look down on lower level workers, and the the company as a whole is very controlling of the people it employees, whether or not they notice it. Dress code and timeliness are more important than work quality, and they'll fire you with little to no notice if they feel you're under-performing or just not liking the company. On the flip side of things, giving notice of your departure terminates you immediately so there's no reason to even give a two weeks notice and as long as you don't make a huge scene when you quit they don't even really seem to care that you're leaving. Compensation is sub-par, and therefore dealing with all the negatives that come with a job at QAS aren't worth the time and energy required to give it a full effort everyday. The last con of this company is that the products are very inefficient and unreliable, and therefore the customer base is rarely happy.

Pros

Used to be a decent place to work but in the last several years they have been cutting costs by offshoring and such. Oddly enough, executive compensation continues to rise while all other areas of the business are cuttting costs.

Cons

Your job is never safe from being offshored (unless you are senior management). Competence is not recognized or rewarded. Management is completely clueless. Technology is outdated and poorly managed.

Pros

Learning opportunities exist for those willing to take them or ask to be included. Some managers are excellent, although I think you'll find that the case at most companies.

Cons

Career growth is limited. The job is stressful and work/life balance is not encouraged enough. Open work environment is counter-productive for some employees.
