A Great Company Overall

Pros

- Great people! - Good benefits - Supportive of continuous learning/training - Decent opportunities for career advancement - Multi- generational workforce (recent grads to retirees)

Cons

- 'Cash is king!'. The purse strings are tied, locked in a safe, and buried a mile underground. - The work environment needs improvement. A former warehouse converted to office space over the last 50 years. - A little behind the software technology curve. - Multi- generational workforce (recent grads to retirees) - Hierarchical organizational structure that appears to be seniority based (read age discrimination). Very, very, few higher level managers in there late 20s to early 30s.

Cool technologies - more leadership required.

Pros

Wide variety of technologies and systems. Geographic diversity. Base of standard processes. Regular program management reporting. Pursuing larger, more challenging programs to provide business stability.

Cons

Need more leadership from key positions. People want to help craft the strategy and execute the plan, but they don't know enough about what's it going on. Too many people resisting change. They want to revert back to company cultures and prcocesses that existed more than ten years ago. They are old fashioned and don't work in today's competitive environment.

Pros

This is a great place for the individual that understands the fundamentals of IP communications, applications, and databases and be willing to 'go the extra mile" to accomplish a task or goal. This can translate into an "Recognition Award" of up to $5000.00 but don't expect these to be an annual event.

Cons

Process is, now, the company's mantra. For someone like me that has spent his life "outside the box" creating unique solutions to company and customer problems, this is a challenge. If you are only willing to give a "yeoman effort" in your job, I don't know if this is the place for you. My father insisted that the only way to success was to be an "übermensch".
