      My manager is a total liar.

      Pros

      The pay and vacation time is decent.

      Cons

      My manager led me to believe that there would be little to no travel. But 2 days after I started I was told that I would have to travel every other week between 2 cities. This is TOTALLY unacceptable. I told her from the beginning interview that I did not want to travel. I get little real work to do because the contractors run this company's IT department. They dole out small amounts of work to me. I have voiced my concerns to my manager and team lead with no results.

      Stable jobs with good wages and benefits but leadership is stuck in the 1980's.

      Pros

      Stability and salary/wages are hard to beat in my area. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      I have a complete lack of trust in senior leaderships ability to recognize what the true organizational/process problems are and then implement meaningful, sustainable change. Regardless of what you see in the company press releases and PR, this organization has an old school leadership/management model and I don't see that changing any time soon.

      Pros

      Good employees who work hard and are very knowledgeable.

      Cons

      Sr. Leadership feels they can talk to employees in a disrespectful way. This has happened several times to me and that has never happened to me at other companies. Health care is not good, high deductible means you basically pay for everything yourself. Premium is low but you pay the price if you have a medical event or need any type of testing. Overall, it seemed like a good place when I started but now I wouldn't not recommend.
