Pros

Good benefits - 401k matched 100% first day, health insurance benefits also from day one. Tuition assistance Overall market fair salary

Cons

Horrible feedback process Management is sink or swim My first 5 months there I received a review that only highlighted negative aspects and made it seem that I sat on the job for 5 months without doing anything. I quickly reached out to HR, it was the first time I had even seen what I was being evaluated on. Everything and anything that went wrong on my first project was blamed on me as a new hire even though I was there in my first month and I wasnt given time to address what happened!! Management provide feedback with no explantion or disscussion. Aside from that there was a restructuring of the department that also took place. Promotional growth is non existence - Mostly lateral. Very political environment.

Pros

The company pays very well for the job you do. Benefits are good and they are big on training. They offer great services and products to customers.

Cons

The work-life balance is awful. Don't work here if you are in school. They will promise to schedule you around school and then not even consider it when making schedules. Every time schedules were posted I had to talk to the manager about changing it and about 50 percent of the time it would not be changed without threatening to call HR. On the surface they want you to offer the best options for customers, but the only people able to meet performance goals lie and cheat their customers. The management knows this and does nothing to prevent or punish this. They are only interested in numbers and bonuses.
