      Pros

      No thinking needed or wanted by managment

      Cons

      IT management is grossly incompetent, dishonest and trivial. The people doing the work never get credit. IT creates, then amplifies small issues into big ones, then rides to the “rescue” . If you got a big problem, first question is gonna be, “is the work in the budget?” Ugh! It’s just crazy what IT does because they have no clue what to do. IT management’s catch phrase is “at the end of the day we work for the business”. By end of the day they must mean 4:59 PM. Don’t dare help the users if you want to keep working there. Much better to tell the Emperor they have “nice clothes”. Management not interested in the truth. Management is interested in running up bar tabs. NJ jobs are either going to NC, or to India. Met would rather have the "cheap and cluelss" rather than the skilled.

      Pros

      If you are a crappy employee there are plenty of places to hide in the bureaucracy.

      Cons

      The new leadership does not care about the employee's. All they care about is shedding the expensive workers salaries in the Northeast. Making workers reapply for their jobs and move to NC or be laid off. This used to be a great place to work but now all of the good people that know how all the systems work are leaving in droves and anyone coming in to the IT dept has a giant pile of crap to deal with. It will be chaos there for the next several years. So enter at your own risk but remember I told you so.
