Pros

TRS pays well above the local average for IT workers. Some flexibility with the work schedule.

Cons

In IT, the CTO manages, not leads, by fear. No one will speak directly or plainly about anything related to their particular domain. Mixed messages about work/life balance. Wrong people in charge of the wrong projects.

Pros

Transamerica things they are pros at saying one thing and then doing another

Cons

Management tends to lie about their intentions. The working environment is horrible with employees having no leadership. There is a constant feeling of dred between employees. Nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions. More time is spent covering your butt than doing your job well.
