Pros

It used to be great, but now they’ve basically replaced the American executive team with French imports.

Cons

HR is simply broken. When you interview a candidate for employment and THEY tell you how bad the recruitment process is, that’s a terrible reflection on the company. With all the delays in hiring due to outdated processes and bureaucracy, candidates move on and you lose a potentially great employee. With all the problems, the new HR VP decided to focus on flexible PTO - the only purpose of that is to save the company money on the bottom line by not paying out accrued leave time. Any time taken off is HEAVILY micromanaged, so while it looks like a recruitment benefit, sadly that is not the truth.

Pros

Interesting work. Good people. Decent pay.

Cons

Operations upper management is a complete joke. They show no respect toward middle management or operators. Work/life balance is terrible because they purposely run severely understaffed, causing crazy workloads. Pay structure is awful. Operators make more money than most middle management.

Pros

You can make a lot of money if you don't mind working 12 hour shifts indefinitely

Cons

When interviewed and the question of overtime comes up listen to what they ask. They will ask if you mind working overtime. What they do not tell you is you will be working days and days without a day off. I did 18 days in a row someone else did 40 days in a row without a day off. The levels of management and interference they provide is ridiculous. There client is unpredictable and you can find yourself in trouble for things you are not aware with no support of management.
