Potential strangled by upper management

Pros

- People in the department (manager and below) are friendly and have similar interests - Location - Health insurance coverage is pretty good - Atmosphere (good work/life balance)

Cons

- Salary Salary Salary: Many positions start at 30k and there is little to no negotiation to raise it. Meanwhile, the execs get paid above industry standard. - Raises: The standard raise here is 3%. Yes 3%. Barely above inflation rate. You have to fight tooth and nail to get above that and if you do they let you know that its a "big deal"... almost guilting you for it. The reason being that your raise comes out of the departments budget and when the department head goes over budget, their raise is affected. - Bonuses: Basically non existent for anyone manager and below aside from the two $25 gift cards to your choice of Amazon, Whole Foods, Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks at the end of the year. - Management/HR: Picks favorites, very cliquey. Some very useless people at the top here who just end up promoting even more useless people.

Good benefits, some cool people, bad culture/brains on the top level.

Pros

Great benefits package, people are pretty friendly and real once you get to know them, good heating and air conditioning, lately they've included free ice cream with the free pizza.

Cons

No labor specialization, everyone is expected to be a jack of all trades, which leads to a LOT of miscommunication and stagnation and general malaise. Constantly feeling like nothing's actually getting done. But maybe things are getting done. Frankly I was so "not there" many times and yet I got two promotions. That should say something about the company.

Pros

The work-life balance for some is great. But I have coworkers who are consistently here until 8:00. Their benefits are standard across the board. All lower level employees have a bond in the fact we don't get paid enough.

Cons

The company is owned by stake holders which are the big 4 in cable- Comcast, TWC, Cox, and Bright House- with Comcast as a majority stakeholder. This puts iND in a unique position as we are technically our own business but are treated as another department of each company. When you have 4 separate companies (or "clients" as we are told to call them) think that you work exclusively for them, business gets chaotic. This chaos is only worsened by a management/ bloated executive team/ CEO that is too afraid to put the interest of the employees ahead of the irrational demands of the client. This becomes evident especially in the fact that our salaries are 20% BELOW national averages (while Comcast and TWC pay handsomely), and we are located in the most expensive city on the East Coast. Because of a high turnover rate, several management positions are filled by employees with only a couple years experience. The only people who stay very long with the company, unfortunately, are those who have ascended quickly- above the intolerably low pay and unreasonably high responsibility of the lower to mid level employee. HR has tried to lower the turnover rate by establishing different committees, but if you paint a lemon gold, it's still a lemon.
