Pros

Good work culture, with culture ambassadors who actively worked to get employee input and creating events to increase the fun we have and promote good staff relationships. Monthly check-ins to ask for our feedback.

Cons

When there were problems that affected the actual work I was doing in the telecommunications department, it took a while for them to be addressed.

Pros

Minimum Supervision, Meeting New People, Offer Decent Benefits, Room for Advancement in Certain Divisions of the Company, Working with Customers to see smiles and know that you helped and/or made someone's day.

Cons

The division I work for doesn't offer good pay for what we do, and doesn't provide good and functional equipment nor proper PPE to perform our jobs. Management leaves us to figure out everything, meaning their work, and it prevents us from doing our jobs productively. The training could be improved..you're basically thrown out to the wolves to fight and survive on your own and you're blamed for what you haven't been taught or don't even know!
