Pros

Great Colleagues who are supportive and helpful, only when they are free though. If they are not, your really are going to struggle! Amazing entry level to advanced internal CGI training website to train for other areas of IT, kind of like Udemy. But because of the daily stress, you really only have your weekends to study/use this unless your a night owl. Only other Positive is working from home, but because of the poor pay and stress of role you might as well work in Sainsburys and earn more!

Cons

Atrocious Training from induction to actual job role. Induction week was waste of time teaching things we did not even actually use! Training it self was bad, even simple basic areas are not explained and then your thrown into the deep end and struggle taking phone calls! Especially when your given like 8 hours just to get used to the systems appalling! 0 equipment was given, most jobs give you support and equipment like monitors etc, this company give nothing and say they didn't plan for the covid-19. Yet they give full remote positions and then cant give equipment does not make sense? You cant do these roles with just 1 small screen laptop, not everyone can afford monitors and keyboards especially when we are in these struggling times. Even the laptops are poor and old. You need the latest processes and rams .

Pros

I work with many intelligent and driven folks. The company cares a lot for what client's wants and needs . We have been allowed to work remotely before Covid and since.

Cons

No clear promotion path. Each business unit has specific percentages of each title. Which means someone as myself that has been with the company for 22 years has no hope of promotion unless I leave the business unit or the company and return. My salary increases have been pitiifall for 10+ years. The 401k match is not great. The model in the last 10 years seem to be to just give the staff additional work without compensation or appreciation. They no longer do anything for the employees such as a holiday appreciate gift. Holiday parties. They also got rid of the "giraffe awards" which was an award that if you won it you were giving a gift card of appreciation.

Pros

- Good benefits, lots of choices and can alter them to your choosing - Job security - Will learn lots of technologies

Cons

- Extremely poor training, we were trained in a program that we didn't even use but our instructor told us that they don't have enough money to train us in the correct programs. Instructor was extremely happy to always tell us how much money he makes and what his pension balance is ... - Lonely environment - Extremely unacceptable behaviour from users (probably contract specific) - Low salary - Back to back calls - The same systems go down again and again - Manager had no idea who I was when it came to my review - Was not able to use stored lieu time - WFH laptops not fit for purpose (4gb ram when you need 3 terminals and 20 browser tabs open)
