Pros

The biggest and only pro there really is, is the flexibility of hours which is why a lot of people have stayed so long. Being able to come in early so you can leave early to make doctors appointments, bank hours, school pickup, etc is incredible and really goes a long way for mental health

Cons

Where to start? -we haven’t seen promtions in over 510 days -whenever we try to ask the Director when we should start seeing them, he dances around an answer -to show appreciation for employees, we’re told maybe we could have a pizza party, which would come out of our managers’ paychecks not the company’s. -we received raises this year that don’t cover the rate of inflation, which translates to actually being paid less. -we are paid severely below the national average for this line of work -the company would rather higher a fresh grad at a position 3 below you and spend money on months of training and lower work being produced, than just promote and pay more -every department is facing these challenges so even if you transfer teams, it’s the same

Pros

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Cons

There are so many cons. - The amount of favoritism is extraordinary. The teacher's pets can do no wrong regardless of how many mistakes they make. And the mistakes are major mistakes and frequent. - They work to death the hard-working, honest employees and let their pets get away with murder. - There are people who have been in their position for 6 months and get promoted. Do you really think they have mastered their position and are so exceptional they deserve to be promoted? I'll give you a hint, they aren't exceptional. Young and attractive, but not qualified at all. It's a popularity contest. - The outsourcing is staggering. The quality of work of the outsourcing is abysmal. - Promotions only for the cheerleaders. Doesn't matter whether they know the difference between a debit and a credit, they will be a VP in no time. - Leadership sets up meetings with each other so they don't have to do any work but look busy. - Merit increases are a joke. - Bonuses are a joke. - The CEO does not know what he is doing. Acquisitions, layoffs, acquisitions, layoffs, rinse and repeat. - Behind the times on anything technical, so much so you would think it was 1995.
