most disappointing place to work

Pros

If your desperate for a job and have no experience, they will hire you. You will also qualify for low-income housing so you can have assistance from the government if that's your thing.

Cons

toxic, manipulative, selfish leadership starting all the way up with the CEO down. life-sucking and absuive work-life balance. HR does NOT care about the employees, they even go as far as lying to minimize and manipulate employees to make them think it's their fault and not the companies. There is no ownership from leadership yet individual contributors are made to feel like everything that goes wrong is on them. Management makes racial, sexist, insensitive comments and there have never been any consequences. That was just the culture... moving on to the business. Plans are not set up to be fair, limiting success and earning potential(as if you weren't already making close to minimum wage). There is no clear payment structure or breakdown of backend processes meaning you have no reference of how you are paid and considering a lot of resources are hired with no previous experience out of desperation, there is so much room for human error you'll never know how to find, which I would say is on purpose. This place has a "sweatshop" mentality. The bad outweighs the good at this company which is incredibly disappointing that places like this still exist.

Pros

Good resources (large company) Decent base salary Flexibility (depending on your office and manager) Have a big name in the IT space Some offices are dog friendly

Cons

Lagging in areas compared to other tech companies in terms of benefits and perks (unlimited PTO is popular where I am, free lunches, etc) for example, they had a new Softchoice shirt and if you want it, it’s like $35. Reselling in general is not profitable compared to getting the entire revenue of the deal While it is growing, the reselling model is becoming obsolete in the IT space so who knows how long that growth is sustainable. Lots of internal systems and red tape to get stuff done.
