Pros

work for an industry leader work with great people who come from a hospitality background overtime flows like water decent benefits free soda

Cons

you are overloaded with projects to the point of people not caring and doing their job. People who DO do their job are just given more work and the people who aren't do not get reprimanded at all. Most management is now remote so it is hard to enforce anything constant promises of better frontiers on the horizon but this is rarely seen. You will just get more responsibilities with an empty promise that it will come. There have been no raises in years. the only bump is an artificial one as Oracle gives out differentials based on when you work in the day and week. Performance reviews only act as a pat on the back Management is flaky. Not there for you when you need them, but you have to drop everything you're doing when they need something. The buyout from Oracle was nothing short of a mess. Support is a revolving door because of the nature of the job but instead of hiring more people locally, more are staffed in the Philippines that do subpar work. There is nothing wrong with that if the people are trained properly, but they arent. you are fighting an uphill battle with techs overseas that are being told to do things to boost numbers so there is always a clash. This burden gets passed down to the customer. the customer relationship was completely destroyed when the local offices were closed and they stopped staffing people locally. They are merely seen as a dollar sign at this point. The only way a customer can get anywhere is to either go to social media or escalate to the executive level. This is not acceptable and it's hard to not agree with the customers who are at wit's end and threatening to pull out. All of these things add up to a lot of uncertainty and low morale in the workplace.

Pros

You get to pick a shift depending on your lifestyle after a certain time. 11-7, 12-8, 8-4, 7-3 etc Close to DC and Baltimore They hire you immediately, because they are desperate. That's it though.

Cons

You are not allowed to take any breaks-you will get an email to please "aut in". So, you are basically told that you cannot take a break unless you ask. Dispatch Mode in my department-basically 7 hours of your 8 hour day, 4 days out of your 5 day week-means you cannot perform the duties that define your job, as in: assist your clientele; no- you get their information, and regardless of what is they are experiencing- or whether they have a "help desk contract"- the Holy Grail of Assistance at Micros , you are made to tell them you will follow up. That is not customer service/support.
