Pros

I don’t have anything to say about my experience that has anything positive attached to it. How about this? THEY WILL LET ANYONE BE A MANAGER, EVEN THE INCOMPETENT AND DELUSIONAL

Cons

My manager was AWFUL. Awful awful awful. You couldn’t pay me to go back. Nightmares.

Merger didn’t help

Business Outlook

Pros

Home-based. Some flexibility. Pretty decent source templates (but they’re virtually impossible to find).

Cons

Poor management. Little to no positive feedback provided by line managers or higher level personnel. Huge pay discrepancy that is “swept under the carpet” when HR/Management is informed. Not a great word to use but I have been lied to and when I call them out on the lies, there is no productive feedback. Just “well this is the way it’s going to be” Internal intranet is worthless. I have taken upwards of 15-30 minutes trying to find a document - many times. It’s a huge time waster. And that search includes asking others for assistance.
