Formerly great company has gone downhill fast

Pros

Location is close to home. Salaries are pretty good. Many long-time employees are wonderful co-workers with great knowledge and provide great service. Occasional telecommuting allowed by some managers, but not all.

Cons

Terrible management at all levels! Company goals are all very short-term. They only care about cost-cutting with no concern for quality or retaining knowledgeable, valuable employees. Example: in IT, approximately 80-90 percent of very experienced and knowledgeable staff were laid off and replaced with less experienced workers with lower salaries. Many jobs were shifted to other countries or states.

Pros

The trainers do a good job and provide the level of support you would need in the role.

Cons

Shifts are ludicrous, managers don't provide correct support, not interested in maintaining employees, not paid or given back overtime after shift has ended, holiday system is a joke! Lack of proper organisation and planning skills. People only get better opportunities and progression if you suck up, not actually bothered about supporting and promoting those who do know their job inside out and are fully competent at doing the job. Company is highly promoting on basis of suck ups and a case of if their face fits, nothing to do with if they are able to do the job; which is generally not the case in the ones who get promoted! Overall a company to be avoided unless you like being treated like they own you and can do as they please! High turn over of staff due to all of the above and more! A company that's as bad as the coalition government!!

Pros

EMS is part of Experian which is a really great company to work for. I am proud to have Experian on my resume. Experian is the kind of company where people have invested their entire careers. By that I mean it's not uncommon to meet people with 25-35 years.

Cons

Right now we're going through a period of transition in EMS. This too shall end. Experian, and by extension EMS, is large & matrixed company with complex structure. It's not for the faint of heart. But if you're comfortable navigating corporate culture and politics then it's not an issue.
