Very Competitive Environment - 24/7

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Long-term employees have the opportunity to earn much larger salaries than at other companies. Intellectually satisfying work at the industry leader. There are many opportunities to get great career-bosting experience by raising your hand for projects.

Cons

Most people put in long hours; there is pressure to be "on" 24/7 to colleagues in Europe and Asia as well as in the US. The environment, while team-based, is always competitive. Not everyone is a good fit in that atmosphere.

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- you will learn a lot - teamwork oriented - industry leader - people are open and supportive (but the closer you move to business the more close people are)

Cons

- not the best payer - very hard to get promotion - if things go wrong - people are laid off very quickly and massively - the closer to business to longer hours your work

Operations = Back Office

Operations analyst
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Don't be fooled when they tell you operations is not a back office/call center. The pay is okay and the vacation is great. The only good thing I can really say is the vacation and health benefits.

Cons

highly stressful, LOW pay, bad managers that are old and don't really listen to what you have to say. Highly political and is almost a dead end job especially if you live in Salt Lake. If you average the amount of hours you work by your salary you are making about the same as someone in a department store. What can you expect they hire people with different "degrees" music majors, science, engineers....usually people with absolutely no finance background.
