Pros

A Job was available for me to apply.

Cons

The opportunity was a nightmare. No investment in continuous improvement. Senior management needs training on how build teams and not tear down employees.

Pros

Pay and benefits (vision, health, paid holiday)

Cons

No internal support to accomplish company, department, or individual goals. High turnover. Constant software issues and changes. No adequate training. No opportunity for advancement. Micromanagement. Unhealthy work environment. Heartbreaking to watch contract to hires ‘fail’ due to inadequate training that are working hard to get hired over and over and over companywide. Pressure to work unpaid overtime to meet individual goals and the amount of work to get a raise just isn’t worth it. Understaffed severely in all areas. No accountability lends to a toxic work environment.
