Pros

There are a few worthwhile and helpful co-workers

Cons

The company does not pay a reasonable or customary rate for mileage. It is also confusing as to whether the job is actually full time or a contract job and that area of communication may cause confusion for other employees when they do their time cards and review their paychecks. In our case, in our location, the time card would start with 0 hours. An employee had to verify that he or she had actually worked the full 40 hours by detailing what he or she did. Being available and ready to answer the phone, respond to emails and go to work, was not considered worthy by some managers of the 40 hour pay. In this way, if the employee worked over the forty hours he or she was available, he or she may not be paid the overtime. Therefore, it seems that the employee was actually working for free, during some hours of his/her availability. He was, effectively, expected to be available for free, with no charge to the company but would still have to respond to all calls from customers or managers without being compensated. The paychecks are a surprise in comparison to the hours the employee has actually been available. When sent to training out of town, some managers would not cover the cost of lunch, even for a $5 snack, and if the employee asks to be reimbursed, the employee is told that this would be stealing from the company. Therefore the employee is expected to pay for his/her own lunch although they are in training almost 2000 miles away from home.

Pros

It's better than not having income. Some of the clients were great to work with and it gave excellent network opportunities to find other work. Offshore positions actually see raises so if you are overseas this might be a great place to work. For US based, not so much.

Cons

No work life balance, no raises in years, constant threats to offshore everyone, senior leadership lie to employees, no matter how much profits increase we're told 'it's not enough, no raises.'

Pros

As for being a contract employee sourced out to another place, Unisys was pretty decent. They offer a living wage, nice health benefits, average time off and some amount of training.

Cons

Never really received anything more than .6% yearly increase in salary despite considerable quality output for the client.
