Pros

Good work environment. Year end bonus, Flexible timings those who work in Technology and long term retirement benefits.

Cons

The pay depends on what field or technology you are working. Initial joining pay will be less compared with other companies. It increases 2 to 3 percent every year. The company offers good bonus every year but again it depends on company profits and individual performance. Do not depend on bonus. Also there is a TCU agency fee that some employees needs to pay monthly and it depends on percentage of salary. That will come around 70 to 100 dollars per month after tax money. Company does not offer promotions automatically depending on work experience. Need to look for job postings and apply.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
