      Pros

      Great, smart, hard-working peers Immediate dept. managers VERY good at "life-work" balancing IT dept dedicated to staying in front of new technology as best as possible Mgmt encouraged autonomy

      Cons

      Every IT employee is sadly underpaid, esp. considering the deep pockets of Berk-Hathaway Dalton GA is a pigeon-hole for those in IT industry. It's Shaw or nothing for IT work. Or relocate to ATL. Mgmt lack-of-communication has employees looking over their shoulder. Sad- these nice people shouldn't have to be so paranoid all the time. Lack of a real "5 year plan" sort of outlook. Upper Mgmt Reactive, rather than Proactive.

      I believe my experience thus far has been an enjoyable one, based on my previous experience at my previous employer.

      Pros

      I believe the longevity of the work force shows how people value Shaw as an employer. They are under the Berkshire Hathaway Company so there are deep pockets available if needed. The training available to all employees is impressive.

      Cons

      I listed it as a pro, but it is also a con with the longevity of the workforce. At times there is not a lot of opportunity for advancement with a work force that does not leave the company and also due to the economy where jobs have been reduced and where people aren't retiring. Another thing is the company at times gets stuck in the "Shaw" way, we've always done it this way why change.
