Pros

Good temp-to-hire opportunity, great for recent college grads. Good health benefits, sick/vacation time, and you can transfer departments after one year.

Cons

The pay is too little for the amount of work that's expected. The responsibilities of the job have grown exponentially, yet the salary and daily production quotas remain the same. The turnover is now becoming ridiculous with people dropping like flies, but management is putting more on everyone else's plate instead of hiring replacements.

Pros

Good work/life balance, growth-oriented, safe from Wall St. Senior management understands the need for growth. Good salary and benefits in these times. For those of you who complain, we actually have it pretty good. Survey your friends/family. You'd be surprised.

Cons

People who have been here a long time tend to be stuck in a time warp, a bit dense, afraid to try new and better things. Email chains can get a little nutty and people freak out over nonsense. Many do not understand the revenue stream, how their salaries are paid and how to put our best foot forward in the name of growth. IT needs expansion and support, not oursourcing services we can build ourselves.
