Pros

Stable and predictable stress free work environment and practices. Good place if you are interested in routine type work experience, self-motivated to learn and prepare for career move elsewhere. Just be careful, you better plan to retire because if you work here long you won’t be marketable elsewhere.

Cons

There are disconnects in strategy and execution. Executive management is doing reasonable job in defining vision and laying out the strategy, however, middle management (Directors, AVPs) lack the ability to understand, not ready for any change, innovation or simple views of how things roll up. Do no harm, take no risk, do nothing and control others by policies and procedures. Lot of smoke screens, no accountability, repackaging of old legacy technologies – pigs with lipsticks.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
