Pros

The ability to work on your own, without someone looking over your shoulder, was very freeing.

Cons

The vast area that we covered could make for a very tiring on-call week.

Pros

Charter has great benefits as part of your total compensation, even for a newly hired employee. You will receive sick pay, floating holidays, major national holidays, weeks of paid vacations, health, life, vision, and dental insurance, even product and service discounts from a number of other companies just for being a Charter employee.

Cons

There has been a huge shift in hiring on contractors and consultants in recent years. The IT and BI divisions heavily rely on contractors that flood in and out with short contract agreements. This means large groups of people are designing and developing solutions only to leave in-house staff to figure it out after they leave. In-house staff no longer have the advancement opportunities they did in the past because of all the contracted workers being brought in in droves. The company also has a policy that an in-house employee must hold their current position for at least a year before qualifying for a promotion or move to a new position, but a contractor can be hired on into a senior roll after only a few months of being on a project.
