JUST DON'T DO IT

Pros

Can't think of any thing.

Cons

When I was hired, I did not have to provide my degree and we did not meet in person, I had a half an hour phone conversation with the hiring manager (who did not really know anything about the position in the first place) . My first week I was told to travel to a local office for orientation, they did not pay for the hotel or mileage, even though I was told they would. I given a standard laptop and was told to sit a desk and sign on and begin working with little to no introduction to the company or what exactly I was supposed to work on. After three days of being on the phone with customer service (which SUCKED by the way) I finally got on the computer i was given only to find out that it wasn't the correct computer. This is basically how everyday goes with these people. Management reprimands you for not answering their text messages on the weekend, and does not communicate effectively, and of course its your fault when they don't. Just don't do it.

Not good for those who wants to learn new skills and develop their career path

Pros

Easy work, No pressure, Flexible working schedule.

Cons

90% of the people are so lazy. No training system, if you are new here, you may end up learning everything by yourself, and most of the material you learned here will not help you later at all when you want/try to change to any other industry. If you want to learn really skilled, and build up your personal career strengths, find some other place.

It's becoming average

Pros

If you know your market worth and negotiate to it, the base pay is pretty good. There are many people who've been there a long time 15+ years, from the employee owned days. They can navigate corporate processes really well. Work/life balance can be really good. Easily the best in my career for keeping normal weeks to about 40 hours. The vacation isn't great, but it's also harder to get burned out if the contract caps you at 40. Lots of positions available in lots of areas. Great if you want to stay with a company but need a change.

Cons

Poor raises and declining benefits every year. Between 2017-2018, paid-time-off (combined sick and leave pot) for loyal employees (10+ years) was cut by 3 days. It now costs $1200 more to insure your spouse (if you spouse has insurance available elsewhere). In 2018, the 401k match is significantly reduced for those working irregular hours (overtime is no longer eligible, and true-up is gone) OCONUS. Every year something else changes to become "more competitive" (average) and these were it for 2018. In 2016 there was no holiday/employee appreciation for our group. Leadership turnover is bad for vision purposes. Fat separation packages/golden parachutes are bad for morale. In the last 5 years, these leaders are no longer in place: John Jumper (CEO), Stu Shea (COO), Sarah Allen (CHO), Gulu Gambhir (CTO), Michael Leiter (EVP), Lou Von Thaer, Mark Sopp (CFO), Vince Maffeo (General Counsel), Mary Craft (CAO), Marty Miner (CIO), etc.
