Pros

I learned a lot here, not due to any sort of training as there wasn’t any.

Cons

No training, benefits suck, no growth within the company, no work life balance (can’t take vacation for a total of 7 months out of the year), pay is below market value for what they’re asking for, veteran techs here are mean and jaded while being uncorrected for so long that management won’t even try to maintain a non-hostile atmosphere. Company has been cutting positions left and right and divvying up responsibilities to the techs for so long they are hardly techs any more as much as glorified maintenance janitors who can turn a wrench. Any enthusiasm is squashed quickly as it is only rewarded with more responsibilities from other’s jobs with no additional compensation

Pros

There are none There are none and oh... There are none If you plan to work here wait to be hired through a temp agencies. They will get you paid more for about year

Cons

- Dehumanizing floor workers (mandatory overtime, unclean working conditions, 20 minute break for a 9 hour shift) - Gossip 24/7...you'd sometimes forget almost all the people that work here are over 30 - Everyone is related to one another somehow so your chances at elevating are slim if you aren't family - Very low pay for the time in your day they take up. Either doing strenuous labor or having you stand there doing absolutely nothing - No respect between departments. Lot's of pointless jabs at one another or unwillingness to communicate for works sake - Management will not hesitate to exploit you at every opportunity - The body aches! A lot of your time at home will be spent tending to muscle pain. Especially if you are older or have certain health concerns - Short notice on over time but you are expected to make it... unless of course you are someone like a machine operator. It's harder to replace them so management lets them get away with a lot. Certain operators and their select friends are the only ones I've seen leave early while everyone else gets penalized for clocking out 2 minutes early or even waiting to clock out after everything is cleaned up - micromanage micromanage micromanage down to the very last second

Pros

Stable job predictable paycheck Work from home

Cons

Low pay, understaffed, poor upper leadership. Projects are often expected to be "pushed" to the business by low ranking IT when it should be embraced by leadership and introduced to the business at the higher levels so that IT doesn't need to fight with the business to adapt to the new tech. Lack of staff and projects fall behind? Leadership says, "You're just not trying hard enough."
