Pros

They hire recent grads and people with relatively little experience There are some great people who work here If you talk to the right people, you can get help in learning various programs that are useful

Cons

Mediocre compensation and benefits Obsessive micromanagement about time cards Rather than planning ahead, making decisions, and committing to them, most mid-level managers are constantly reacting I the whims of senior management. Since they don't generally have a good understanding of the data or what happens on the ground and they ignore any input from their analysts, this wastes a tremendous amount of time and results in poor decision making. Analysts are often set up to fail because management makes absurd demands without understanding the work that goes into their requests. These requests are expected to be met immediately (often impossible), and then the next week they change their mind and the process starts all over again. Since they don't want to hear any input from the people actually doing the work, and rarely recognize their hard work, advancement tends to be based on your willingness to blindly obey management and keep your mouth shut. I have worked here for about a year. In that time, pretty much my entire team has turned over. I think that's a pretty good indicator of how happy employees are. Their treatment of csrs/techs is even more reprehensible. If you're going to work here, get the experience you need and get out as soon as possible.

IT is in stagnation.

Pros

Seems like a stable company for a moment. Weak internal initiatives, very little actual talent left.

Cons

Bad attitude towards employees. Dominance of bureaucratic rules over professionalism and creativeness. Small and dirty cubicles, outdated software systems. Promotional are given based on loyalty to the management and not based on the delivery.
