Very, poor management

Pros

Benefits were OK and some of the team are great to work with.

Cons

SGS's middle management were so cliquey. They just hired their old pals from Verizon, even if they were completely unqualified and in most cases incompetent (Which is why Verizon fired them in the first place)

Low morale, long hours

Pros

Work hours can be flexible as long as you meet deadlines. Lots of overtime available if you want it.

Cons

Office culture is rife with gossip and favoritism. General employee opinion of the job is negative, which can lead to a poor working atmosphere. Management does little to improve morale, instead reacting with hostility whenever negative opinions or attitudes are displayed. Management will accept any short deadline project for money regardless of existing workload and staffing. Poor work/life balance in the summer, where the workload can force you to almost live at work. Consistent good performers taken for granted, average performers who occasionally step up showered with praise, and poor performers ignored as long as someone else picks up the slack. Very little opportunity for advancement.
