Pros

This company has missed a great opportunity to help others and turned it into a money grubbing operation

Cons

The people you will be managing make as much money as you do except you are responsible for the performance of a 21 person team they have little to no accountability. There is no background checking, nor drug testing so the company attracts the worst of the worst. Upper management supports the worker bc if they leave, the site will lose money. For every dollar Serco pays a worker, they charge the government 3 times that amount. The unfortunate outcome is zero backing from your bosses. If a worker accuses you of wrongdoing, YOU will be investigated (they will not, so truth is scarce in these situations) but as the investigation proceeds, if you are not guilty of the accusation, they will find some other infraction and try to fire you over the new found flaw. There is little support from upper management and zero mentoring or career development. The last promotions that happened for a supervisor at Serco happened because they fit a specific racial demographic. Also, every supervisor that has been terminated from this job has been over 50 years old. The company exists to rape the government of money. They are cunning and everything from phone calls to email is recorded and under constant review

Task Manager

Pros

The H & W money for health insurance is a plus but the deductible to meet is HIGH! Earned sick and vacation is better than the hourly but not by much.

Cons

Under Paid, overworked and expected to do the job of every department even though those people make much more than you. The work ethic from the hourly employees are unmanageable because there is no "across the board" standard or consistency. If you are one of those managers that try to manage the horrible conduct, the hourly will target you if they don't like you, collaborate a story that offends them and use the speak up line to start an investigation. The turn over rate for a manager is about two years if your lucky and most of the Task Managers are on Written or Final Written Warnings. Its Serco's way of controlling you out of fear. The stress level is high for Task Managers and the rewards for your job is zero. The recognition programs only go to the hourly workers who do not deserve it because the condonement to treat the Supervisors is allowed from site management. You can never transfer or get out of the Task Manager position once your there. The turn over rate for Task Managers are very high! If your a minority whether its race, religion or you have a disability you are treated with kid gloves and seem to get preferential treatment. STAY AWAY! This place will not be missed.
