Nice pay, poor management

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, they let you be professional and responsible for your work. They really take into account what the employees think about the company and make changes to reflect this.

Cons

Terrible management, no direction especially for new hires. No acknowledgement of a job well done, whatsoever! Not everyone needs a pat on the back, per se...but a simple thank you or good job would have been nice to hear.

Pros

very stable company. They have a large IT budget.

Cons

Feel like a number, Low salary limits - have to move to different job title position for a raise. Only 4+ reviews will receive a raise. (1 - 4) possible. I have never heard of anyone getting a 4

Stable company but minimal opportunities for advancement

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company that follows the lead of other companies before rolling out new products. Lots of long term employees with minimal turnover.

Cons

Wages are below average, benefits are poor and office equipment is outdated. Minimal opportunities for advancement. Senior management has already told us that almost no one will get a pay raise this year but they will not address whether executive bonuses are also being reduced or frozen. They are not open to flexible work arrangements such as flex time or telecommuting. Senior management describes the workplace as a family but then treats us all like children. They also like to remind us that we're lucky to even have jobs. They stress shared sacrifice in this down economy even though the company has reported record earnings each of the last several quarters.
