Pros

9/80 and some nice people

Cons

Weird place. Couldn't wait to get out of there. The place is complete utter chaos and very poorly run. Business only been able to grow in recent years because customers have no alternative but that won't last. No new products, accountability, strategy, planning, processes, or communications. Nobody including management seems to care or wants to fix. Everyone is just waiting to retire or be sold. Good luck to any buyer as you'll be inheriting a hot mess to clean up. Products, technology, systems, equipment, building are ancient, and large share of workforce is lazy and incompetent. Rather than holding these folks accountable or try to improve systems or processes, management just gives more work to those who deliver without any reward whatsoever. Depressing and toxic place. Benefits and pay below rest of industry. No training or growth programs. Morale and culture awful. No sense of team. Employees not valued.

Pros

new leadership change took out the pros I had for this.

Cons

when you improve on all metrics and get told metrics are not everything but yearly goals are looked at by metrics. they say employee empowerment but the second someone speaks up they do what they can to shut them up. leadership will tell you one thing to your face and do another behind you bad. we have a tier system that goes up to 5 which is useless. Managers and Directors are not held accountable to its workforce.

Pros

9/80 schedule is the only benefit

Cons

Management is a total disaster. Poorly run department. Confusion, belittling, and chaos to say the least. Software tools , or lack of tools, is a big pain point. No training, sink or swim mentality. Numbers and systems never tie and constantly show incorrect and irrelevant data. Most people leave due to poor, incompetent management and overworking employees.
