Pros
RE: Bad Reviews. After reading all of the complaints about BIS's benefits and pay, I felt I should respond with a more honest and fair commentary on the situation. The BENEFITS: are excellent. When I received my benefits package. to be honest, was overwhelmed by all of the options and coverages offered. Health Insurance: BIS pays 80% for the employee. Employee end is either between $27 and $42 for individual. Of course its a lot more to add family members because BIS isn't paying employee's family's shares. Then there is Dental, Vision, Retirement, Idemnity, Short and Long term disability, and life insurance as options. (All at very reasonable rates and good coverages) PAY (Pro): Raises are pretty regular for employees that perform well. Recent college grads looking for entry level work in the Computer Science / IT / Programming have a hard time finding jobs locally. (from personal exp.) Many of the jobs can be performed are skilled-entry level positions so the pay is based accordingly. CO-EMPLOYEES: Everyone I work with is great. Most of us share similar interests and all are easy going, helpful, cooperative. OVERALL: As someone that had been looking for a job in the field and fresh from college, this is by far the best company I've ever worked for as far as the pay, the atmosphere, co-workers, team leaders, the job itself, and upper management.
Cons
PAY (Con): Its a little low for the computer science field but to be real honest, that is the case with most companies in this area at least for basically skilled-entry level jobs. SEE PAY(Pro)
