Great PTO, but that's it!

Pros

The company has a good amount of PTO then we were given several discretionary days as well. They allow work from home but only after a year and jumping through some hoops

Cons

Very restrictive work environment and antiquated. 30 minute lunch hour, 40 hour work week when most companies have pared down to 35 or 37.5, leaving no time to take care of doctor appointments or minor errands. Not much work life balance. Upper level management micromanage employees. I sat at my desk as a new employee for a month with no work or no files. When I asked for work there was nothing that could be given until upper management said so.

Pros

Benefits are great and they offer a program through Vitality where you can earn rewards for healthy activities. 18 days PTO and 11 company paid holidays. There are definitely some great people that work here, but it takes a while to figure out the ones to trust.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant within this company. Bad behavior is rewarded by management and poor performers are promoted. Company seems financially unstable within the last year. Most employees are underpaid compared to local averages.

Pros

I have seen a multitude of technologies in a short amount of time. alot of acquisitions giving a view into both well run and terrible IT environments all of which needs to get absorbed into corporate. nice and smart people all around

Cons

Management is on a roulette wheel. Constant changes in managers, with alot of good people pushed down or replaced with management from companies that went under or were bought and poorly run. Politicians are now in charge instead of people that know how technology works. There doesn't seem to be strategy. only band aids. a lot of effort on putting ideas together but the strategies are left in meeting rooms and forgotten. the new regime loves to spend money on silly things instead of looking for long term savings. simple things like pcs are denied while expensive systems are approved easily. most of my department is looking hard for other jobs which could be their goal right now.
