Pros

9/20 schedule Tuition assistance Clean work environment Employee resource groups Parking Working computers They want me to add 20 words of pros but to be honest it's hard to find that many pros for this place.

Cons

I thought I had gotten the opportunity of a lifetime only to find out it was all a sham. Working in the supply chain dept at the Spectrum Center in San Diego is a living nightmare. Very toxic environment! The managers are the worst I have ever seen. They lie to your face, promote backstabbing and gossip among employees. You can't complain to HR because they are friends with the managers and will make sure you never get promoted or able to move depts. You will only get promoted if managers like you regardless of experience, education or work performance. Preferential treatment is at all time high. Just suck up to that lazy manager and you get your way. If you aren't one of the favorites you might as well leave because your career and salary will come to a halt. The turnover is the highest I've seen, PAs are always going out on disability or quitting but the managers don't care they can always fill the positions with contract labor. The managers have all gotten the positions because they are friends with the bosses wife or some else, they bring nothing to the table while sitting in their offices trolling their phones all day. PAs get blamed for pretty much everything when things go wrong. We are the punching bag of other departments. Programs don't realize it's a tough job pleasing programs and compliance and when you have unproductive lazy managers life is very hard. The processes and procedures PAs have to work with are so outdated it's unbelievable for a company this size. Sucking up to compliance is what PAs have to do all day every day for no apparent real reason. I have never been so stressed at work in my entire life and can't wait to find a new job like everyone else.

Pros

fast pace learning environment. Lots of stuff to do- program was growing

Cons

like dirty diapers and politicians- some of the employees that have been clanking around for 20 years need to be tossed out... Promote positive change management and process improvement. little to no room to grow or slow growth. "good ol' boy network runs ramped... It is all about who you know and less of what you can do. pay should match work. Did NOT get equal pay for equal work.

Pros

On site facitilies

Cons

Everyone on Glassdoor talks about the 9/80 schedule and how it promotes a work life balance, but working 10 hour days is exhausting. When you have the Friday off, you want nothing more than to sleep. The employees are content doing minimal work just to get a paycheck No one gets fired for underperforming too many people that have been there for years that are hogging up space There also isn't enough work to keep employees busy I don't know why they keep hiring and hiring when there isn't enough work to go around.
