Pros

1. Some smart people work here. Some truly do try to make things better. Some have a good sense of humor which helps a lot. 2. Free coffee / hot drinks 3. Good benefits - 401K, medical, vision, flex spending, etc. 4. Remote work for those who can. 5. Some effort is made to provide perks such as a tailgate cookout, holiday party, baking contests, pumpkin carving, etc.

Cons

1. Lack of good communication - from directors & managers throughout. Management acts as though they're the only ones with thinking skills - nobody else knows better. Input from others is sidelined at best, or flat out ignored. 2. There is a good ol' boy vibe - leaders/supervisors are pre-selected and groomed based on their likability vs. their talent, thus leading to an undesirable working environment. 3. HR has too much input in personnel movement between departments or shifts. Once a person is hired it should be up to their leadership team to promote or move them as the opportunity arises. 4. It's like everyone walks around with blinders on. They can't or won't consider other objectives that aren't a specific a focus within their work area. 5. Everyone has their own agenda. Forget what anyone else needs to get done. 6. Very reactive environment. There is constant troubleshooting due to crises.

Pros

401k, benefits once you get hired as a permanent employee.

Cons

All moves are considered latter with more job duties to do and no increase in pay to make up for it. Will work you down until your mental health is broken and only concern with pushing out numbers. Issues with some managers taking their power to their heads and thinking they can get away with inappropriate moves. The hire time is reduclues, don't believe them when they say 6 months to become permanent. Takes for ever to become permanent to get the benefits. Management doesn't even know what 1 side is doing or they are just blind to it and don't care. This place can break you mental if you stay.

Pros

You can not get fired so long as you show up.

Cons

This is not where IT careers are born. They die here. Unfortunately, there is a severe attitude of “CYA” and a paranoid environment from IT & Business management. I have never worked at a place where you have to reboot your computer several times a day to be secure. You have 2 bosses here. One just walks around miscommunicating and giggling all day long & the other is a narcissist that barely knows how it is to communicate like a normal human being other than spouting shoot from the hip policy and orders. This is a single point of failure organization and they are proud of it. There is no need to be proactive here as everything is reactive and when it happens “Senior Management” laughs and says “That’s Saft”. They are proud of it. There is no trust and there is no need to share collective ideas as to better the organization because the powers that be have it all figured out and do not want to hear from anyone that is not in the Good Ole Boys club. They are under the assumption that if they feed employees every few months they can get away with no career development and less than cost of living increases. The common phrase here is keep working and some point in the future we will do something for you. At least that is what I have heard for some years.
