Pros
It was a paying job, I guess.
Cons
Bad, expensive, health insurance plan, did not pay for labs/x-rays/office visits/nothing. Poor pay, never a pay raise They enjoyed bringing in new employees for an equivalent position at a higher pay rate. Never, a kudo, or thank you for the hard work one did for them. Never a free lunch offered, very rare in technical positions. If you had any OT they did not thank you, but focused on you not having any more OT, even though lots of OT had to be worked. Used your own vehicle, crap reimbursement. Totally screwed the field guys on Mileage. Forced me onto the high mileage plan where Unisys paid 1st 900 miles at $.58, but then the company only paid $.20/ mile after that , they kept saying "this is the industry standard.." Motus (mileage tracker) has checkpoints and these always cost me mileage and shorted my slow reimbursement check. I sometimes drove close to 4k miles per month. Totally screwed me out of vacation. They did away with my 4 weeks of earned vacation and sold new vacation plan as "unlimited". Unisys stated that we could take as much time off as we want. Really?? The problem is they use the excuse of there not being enough "coverage" or staffing shortage" and manager won't approve your vacation request so you don't get your vacation time. Althought it is supposedly unlimited, why do they watch your vacation day totals so closely?? Lots of"unconscious bias" training. Supplied the field techs with really lousy, cheap laptops, (AMD HP) with a minimal battery life and small amount of memory/hard drive. Forget trying to get anything done with the myriad of ticketing and work apps you had to use to complete any work. Your performance never met the SLA metrics and you were always hearing about what you need to do better. You had to "sign" the workday performance review that was pre-populated with unattainable goals/metrics. In the end, they lost the support contract I was on, and I took another position, doing the exact same job with the vendor that replaced Unisys, better in all regards. Thanks for your interest in my opinion of this corporation.
