Pros
There is room to learn for a new graduate The general training in the training building allows you to find and meet people in the same situation as you - new hires
Cons
The learning environment in your department is not good. I feel like i am bothering coworkers when i have questions. The amount of gossip in my department makes me feel like i am back in middle school. The full time employees that have been in the group for years constantly complain about the company pay, benefits, work flow, etc. The environment is very negative. In addition, during my training, my trainer often seemed rushed because she had to train me, another trainee ,and work on her own tests. This left me feeling unguided with some tasks. There was also alot of down time where my trainer didnt have anything for me to do. As for work life, the other coworkers all have clicked together in their own groups. an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon before leaving they all circle up and gossip about everyone else. Many whispering. very unfriendly. I can see why employer retention is low and why many people leaver or transfer out of my division.... I hope things get better.
