Pros

Great, smart, hard-working peers Immediate dept. managers VERY good at "life-work" balancing IT dept dedicated to staying in front of new technology as best as possible Mgmt encouraged autonomy

Cons

Every IT employee is sadly underpaid, esp. considering the deep pockets of Berk-Hathaway Dalton GA is a pigeon-hole for those in IT industry. It's Shaw or nothing for IT work. Or relocate to ATL. Mgmt lack-of-communication has employees looking over their shoulder. Sad- these nice people shouldn't have to be so paranoid all the time. Lack of a real "5 year plan" sort of outlook. Upper Mgmt Reactive, rather than Proactive.

Pros

Shaw offers a lot of opportunities for growth, great work life balance, very flexible, and has great values.

Cons

Very hard to get pay bumps / raises due to not having a standard annual review. They use "pay for performance" which allows them to dictate WHEN you receive a raise. Even if you're going above and beyond you really have to document every little thing you do here to argue for a raise.
