Computer Systems are from the 80's and Constantly Chnaging Focus and Vision

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some work at home ops, Can find good people in the mix, Compensation is fair

Cons

Computer systems are way way outdated. Have in-house IT programmers building HUGE data base programs and they are not capable. Throw programs out without real time testing and cause chaos to work life. Employees are often not replaced. Employees who remain are asked to do more and more and more with less and less benefits.
