Pros

Team Atmosphere within departments, raises are usually done at appropriate times, open door policy with upper management, holidays are usually granted without exception and the ability to take a day for a personal matter is greeted fairly.

Cons

A bit cliquish, departments tend to stick to themselves, there is a sense of "us vs them" mentality between the office and the field, employee benefits could be better - ie, no short term disability benefits, purchased by a U.S. company so there is currently severe cost cutting happening between staff layoffs and other ways in order to just "save a buck"., The overall culture and company values have dramatically changed, and not always for the better.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
