Pros
Good benefits/pay, good coworkers, first line managers seemed to actually care.
Cons
Work/life balance is awful and not recognized. Constant last minute changes with very little time to react. If the pay and benefits hadn’t been as good as they were I would have been looking elsewhere before the layoffs. It was getting to the point that even with the benefits, the lack of work/life balance was unsustainable. Lack of automation and complex work being done on Excel spreadsheets was completely inefficient and reduced already constrained time. After months of late nights reworking schedules and manually fixing “automation” attempts, the role was eliminated in most US locations and moved to Asia with less experienced/new personnel. It takes time to learn these roles and gutting an important part of the business without experience. The people left behind by the haphazard layoffs are more overworked than they were when there was a full staff.
