Always playing catchup.

Pros

The office is in a good location away from the city and traffic. Benefits are decent. Definitely a great place to start off your career, learn and grow as a professional.

Cons

But beginning of a profession is where one caps. Systems, policies and procedures are archaic at best. No real training, just thrown into the fire and hope you return. Every department is waiting on another department and work bottlenecks at crucial times. Overworked, underpaid is a norm but no one seems to understand why and the cycle starts over the following month. Management is extremely inefficient and do not seem to come up to solutions but just patch things up just enough so the department won't collapse. Seems as the company doesn't invest in it's infrastructure.

Almost Decent Place to Work

Pros

There's a lack of IT knowledge within the department at the senior most levels. This provides an opportunity to shine by helping with best practices and moving the department forward. The employees doing the work are friendly and competent.

Cons

When providing those best practices, you rarely receive recognition. Nepotism runs rampant, and the CIO favors loyalty over competence every time, to the tune of promoting inexperienced people beyond their means. Cheap hardware with lack of redundancy to save a few bucks means consistent outages. Hacks put in place by Sr. Dir of IT create a snowball effect that makes simple tasks difficult to accomplish. The IT mentality of Sr. Mgt. is give users just barely enough to get their jobs done, and force business decisions on them. Energy Transfer spends about 20% of what it should be spending on IT as compared to other Fortune 500 companies and it shows.

Pros

Company is very flexible with schedules and are good when you need to leave for personal matters. Culture is decent although a lot of good ole boy netoworking.

Cons

- No praise or recognition for job well done. - Pay is on lower 25%. - Development management is incompetent. Not stretching the truth.
