Pros

The schedule I had was good- 4am to 1230pm.

Cons

Pay is ridiculous-8.50. Management were incompetent and rude. I am over 25 and I was treated like I was in high school. I have been in retail for 9 nine years and out of that nine been in management for 4. I have never treated my employees as if they were stupid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work life balance. Good office interiors.There is no client pressure and onsite folks are friendly and accomodating.

Cons

All big projects are handled by vendors. Hence less learning.Quality of people to work with had gone down drastically because of lower salaries being offered and cost optimization.Very unstable recently with takeover rumours,low capital budget and exodus of key people at all levels.
