Pros

Canteen was good, smoking area was spacious.

Cons

Salary was poor, managers were awful and had absolutely no idea how to communicate with people under their pay grade. You’re worked relentlessly talking to the general public who have absolutely no idea how to pay bills and seem offended when you ask if they are making a payment ( every call opening). Little to no social interaction without a glare from senior management.

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
