Pros

Pay was decent at the time in my professional development.

Cons

I worked there three months and didn't help a single customer. They had this idea that you can never get the answer wrong in front of the client, thus I never got to help a client. This is the farthest thing from the truth, if you don't know the answer you tell the client you will find the answer. They really picked on me here and I have never experienced this, even in trades jobs as a teen. They told me (two weeks in) after three months if I didn't figure it out I was gone!! The last straw was when I was working on something and I got it right but had asked a small unrelated question to one of the jerks there and he told my manager that my first correct ticket he helped me with. So they held a meeting with me just to tell me that I didn't really do that on my own. I was shocked as I had never exp this attitude when being trained. Anyway, it really hurt my self esteem for few years after working here.They tried to figure out this but I ended up quitting because I really felt attacked on anything I did. Took me awhile before I felt confident again. My next job I was working IT helpdesk. I had the highest stats on calls closed, positive surveys from clients and this was from my first month. So looking back they were just so backwards and I was too young to see the issue and tell them. Four years later I now do IT project management for the health authorities. So what was wrong with me? To heck with this company!

Pros

A friendly place, comfortable, easy schedule old culture good projects, can enjoy the work if you don't care about compensation and benefits, always loaded with work

Cons

It is your choice, if you want to be loaded, people can get their way without doing much. Very poor managers and talent is not honored. A pessimistic outlook.
