Pros

The PEOPLE!! - Those who work at this office are phenomenal. They are the backbone and face of the company. Depending on who you report to (line manger, director, PM) your work/life balance may be the only saving grace to this company .

Cons

Lack of decision making by upper management. Willing to let go of experienced personel to obtain cheaper labor. Lack of communication - yet upper management excels at talking about nothing or in circles yet never addresses a direct question. Micromanagement - badge tracking system (are we in jail?) Employees leaving in droves Company advised only mid managers and higher are going to receive bonus pay. New building that is shiny and pretty but everyone inside of it is miserable.

Pros

They pay a fair rate, but you have to sell your soul to get it.

Cons

My mother passed away on my first day of work, completely unexpectedly. I called my manager. She said I could have 3 days of bereavement leave. I repeated that my MOTHER died. I had to fight HR to get an additional 5 days of *half days* of work. On day 29, my manager called and said I hadn’t finished the first 30 days of training. I reminded them that I had taken off some time when I started and that my mother had recently died. On day 30 I was fired for non compliance. During my 30 days of employment, I encountered some of the most dismal, heartless corporate bastards that I’ve ever met. I was impressed at the level of indifference and lack of compassion.

Pros

I got paid (below industry standard) and was not on welfare. I had some great co-workers, all have left or are miserable and looking for a better opportunity.

Cons

Insane workload, no work/life balance. Low pay for industry. Benefits slashed with merger. Severe lack of transparency. Rules do not apply to all. High turnover at all levels. New hire's not trained, a sink or swim on boarding process. Micro-management is the norm. Lack of collaboration between departments. Upper level management has little clue what those "under" them do - yes, you are made to feel subordinate and inferior. Low morale.
