      IT is a mixed bag

      Pros

      Strong Co-Op program with Rochester Institute of Technology which has led to numerous full time hires after which does help bring in eager young new talent.

      Cons

      Always pay at the absolute bottom end of a salary range for starting employees. IT is still a very segmented division without a lot of communication between departments. New management is trying to clean this up but a decade+ of bad business decisions and crazy processes are a mountain to overcome. Agile process might be right direction for our development teams but not so much IT. Just competent managers and project managers that know how to run projects and manage employees would suffice.

      Pros

      You will receive industry leading training. The commission structure is structured to reward high performers. Senior level Directors are approachable and seem to be genuinely concerned with employee wellness. The organization is very healthy and cash rich so there is a high degree of job security. If you are looking to move up within the organization there are lots of mentors willing to help get you there.

      Cons

      The learning curve is a bit steep for those coming in with no previous payroll experience. The company needs to be a bit quicker in reacting to change.
