Pros
First, I want to say that G10 has opened a lot of positions in the KC area. That is a welcome change, since Sprint is in such a free-fall. The office staff is extremely helpful, friendly and professional. There is almost always plenty of coffee! There is always the opportunity to convert, if you are so inclined to court BAC for a position. As odd as it seems, G10 is one of the more stable opportunities in the KC area. The bank has an insatiable appetite for projects, and that means lots of project managers. G10 has nurtured a fantastic partnership with the client. That makes for a ripe employment opp.
Cons
The staff puts on an "artificial" tough-guy stance with regard to working from home. The official policy is that everyone must work from the office, but some people have not been in the office for several months. That is not an exaggeration. One of the contractors has not been in the office since October, and that is a fact. If there IS in fact a policy, enforce it. If you won't enforce it, dummy-up and accept the facts. If you terminate the offenders, people will start working from the office. You don't have to look past the corners of the 4th floor office space to find some likely candidates for the unemployment line. The pay is mediorce. It could easily be increased by getting rid of that silly office space. Everyone knows that the billing rate to the bank is(was) $84.00 per hour. You can afford higher salaries. There is no incentive to work harder or be more effectlve. Mediocre Bob makes the same as Rock Star Harry, so there really is no incentive to do anything more than enough to keep your job. (That didn't work so well for the Soviet Union, did it?) Those fake "Program Manager" and "Change Manager" promotions (which seem directly correlated to those who spend the entire day writing news letters and working for the homeless shelters) aren't fooling anyone. There really is no opportunity for growth. But, it's not REALLY a job. it's an extended interview for employment with BAC.
