Pros

Not all administrative members were mean and unqualified.

Cons

One administrative staff member was extremely disrespectful, hurtful and inexperienced as a trainer. She worked against me instead of with me and made sure to use the training office as a place to gossip about my work performance while belittling me to other staff members and bragging on how she wanted me fired. When I tried to complain about it, nothing mattered because she is very good friends with the supervisor and is untouchable.

Pros

Air conditioning, close to B&H store.

Cons

I had perhaps made the worst career choice when I decided to accept an offer for Lan Administrator in Segal. My manager who was the regional Lan manager at the time was the absolute worst. I had no access for weeks and was given Microsoft course material to read when I had questions. He would occasionally make fun of a former employee and would show me youtube clips of an actor who resembles him. I was stuck in my cubical all day most of the time with nothing to do. There will be days when I will just check in, sit in my cubical and not one person would interact with me for the entire day. While working here I had a death in my family and I took a few days off, during this time my manager would harass me and consistently call to ask me questions about when I will be back. I finally had enough and ended up quitting without another job. After my resignation, I received a call from HR stating that they had overpaid me an extra 2 or 3 sick days and would like for me to reimburse them. This is while I was still grieving. Please stay away from this company.

Pros

Unlimited sick days (this does not mean your work is picked up), multi-employer work was interesting and there didn't look like any worry of it dying down anytime soon. Work life balance depends on the team you are on. Some teams have a better outlook for this than others. I also want to make a note that employee reviews were always good, so they do praise you occasionally.

Cons

Pay is under industry standards, they claim they offer you more benefits to outweigh this... I didn't see it (My current company also provides free health and dental so this is a large improvement, I may be biased.) They used to have a better pension offered but recently reduced the benefits. Salary increases lower than industry standards for passing exams. Bonuses were rarely on target, although you could argue it was due to just meeting hours target and not going above the target. My team leader was condescending and slightly sexist, in this day and age I don't know how a company can function while having sexist management. Each EA and CRM had different preferences so if your work did not satisfy each individually, you are often spoken to about your quality of work. Career advancement depends on which team you are on and how much turnover your team experiences (i.e. you hope that someone above you leaves or gets a promotion so you have an opportunity.) Training is either too slow or too fast, depending on the team. They have proprietary programs that are 100% trial by fire, and when you make mistakes they are confused as to why you don't understand how to use the software they never taught you. They did recently start a formal training program that has some potential... but when you have to miss due to volume of work they get upset and sometimes even reward those who show up instead of rewarding taking into account those who are very busy and are getting their work done for a deadline. All programs are proprietary so you need to find someone who can give you an answer (the answer is often times I don't know) so there is no hopes to try and google something as you would be able to do in SQL, Excel or Access.
