Pros

There no longer are any. A decade ago, when they were still ACS, they were a good company. They treated their employees fairly and invested in them. That slowly disappeared after Xerox bought them and then got worse when they spun off as Conduent.

Cons

The company does not walk the talk. The CEO repeatedly says he wants to make the company the most attractive and admired place to work, along the lines of Apple, Google and Facebook. Their policies, however, do not match this vision. They repeatedly strip away benefits. This year they eliminated cost of living raises. The problem is they also require managers to rate 80-90% of employees below a 3 - the top rating. They reserve the bulk of the small merit pool for those that rate a 3. So the cards are stacked against you to get any sort of increase. Last year the severance policy was reduced to a cap of 8 weeks maximum, no matter how long you worked there. They will also deduct local unemployment funds from your severance. This year - after the Trump tax cuts promised to give corporations tons of money to invest in their people - they changed the cap to a max of 4 weeks. Imagine doing 20 years with the company and getting a 4 week package! They also tend to manage their financials by RIFs. Check the reviews on here and other sites that track layoffs and you will see how they do these quarterly cuts - in the thousands - to help make the financials look better. Those that survive the cuts are simply given more work to take on from the ones that were let go - with no promotion or raise. Poor benefits. No salary increases. No employee investments. You are better off elsewhere. All my coworkers feel like the clock is ticking and you never know when you will get cut - no matter how good of an employee you may be.

Pros

Paid on time, provided equipment, decent benefits from day one, nice co-workers

Cons

Sweatshop mentality of the supervisors, threats of demotion/termination for medical leave, random layoffs when calls didn't justify hours, with those same hours shifted to supervisors to keep them active. Unable to print paystubs, had to request everything through a supervisor, and provide copious amounts of private information to have the request honored. Corrosive environment - I left as soon as I got another offer, gave 24 hours notice (and I've never, ever done that before). Unless you're on the verge of homelessness or starvation, avoid at all costs.
