Pros

The pro's are that depending on your supervisor it you can have a lot of freedom at GB. If you are getting your job done for the most part you will find that management will leave you alone and let you come and go as you please. If you are a go getter you can even work from home if you are approved to do so your management. The people in my experience are knowledgable and most are nice enough and will give advice if asked. There are on-line trianing courses that will help you further your edjucation in an area yu select if you can find the time to do it.

Cons

Computer systems are outdated and slow. They have attempted to move to a paperless system which has been a nightmare. If you did not get what you wanted when you came in the door $$$$ then you got screwed because who knows when your going to get a raise and if you do it will probably not be much of 1. 2% is normal if they give a raise. The gossip (caused by the lack of comunication from management to peons) is a horrible. Be prepared to go to a company who has outsourced part of its work force to India and no doubt will be sending more jobs overseas as any ME TOO company will do if they think it will save a few $. Dont get mad when the execs get there 3 mil bonuses in stock options and you got nothing because they worked hard for that money and the people who own stock voted to give them that.

Not a good place to work.

Pros

They allow telecommuting, which is the only perk. Coworkers are nice but everyone is overworked and overstressed. There is 401 K plan, they will match up to 6% Minimal Medical benefits. They have not cut our pay, but there have been no raises for over 3 years. Office Admin manager assists with license renewals, that is a HUGE help.

Cons

Excessively high workloads Phones and computer systems go down quite often. Technology is very behind the times. Morale is very low and workers are over stressed. The turnover is down because of the slow economy, but pretty much everyone is looking for other opportunities and leave when they can. There does not seem to be any attempt to retain staff.
