Leave your humanity at the turnstile.

Pros

Better than being homeless. Good experience if you can survive there.

Cons

I worked in Building 22 in the Best Buy/Fluor call center. You will work there as a "contractor" for Kelly Services or CCI. You will never be hired direct. You will never get a raise. There is no paid time off of any kind, no health insurance, no dental, no benefits for a full time job. The training I received was a joke, little to do with what the actual job was, when I made a mistake I was fired via a phone call at home, no warnings, no conversation, just "your services are no longer needed, surrender your badge". You have been warned.

Great unique experience but work environment is disappointing

Business Outlook

Pros

There is an amazing breadth of experience you can gain working at IBM. 300mm semiconductor fab is leading edge technology which provides endless amount of personal and technical challenges. There exists a lot of flexibility in work schedules without effort to balance your personal life.

Cons

Part time employment , while availalbe, is extremely limited in career growth despite hype. Extremely unnecessarily stressful environment due to inappropriate distribution of resources as well as poor top down middle management techniques.
