Pros

Xerox (formerly ACS) has an IT shared services model that is mid-tier, yet remains competitive against the big players but is getting squeezed by the public cloud offerings (Azure, AWS etc). With thin margins, good customer service is key to keep within razor thin margins...Xerox has solid customer base with some big named corporations with global support needs. They execute solid business processes and promote an ITIL services model.

Cons

Offered a position of leadership with good benefits and a bonus program a year ago. Soon discovered no bonuses have been paid out in a number of years, not to mention merits or raises. Even internal promotions often come without pay increases. The company is a IT sweat shop that drives its employees to work ridiculous hours with little relief never saying "no" to the customer. Turnover is high at all levels making it difficult to drive change. Employees that have not left are typically not motivated for some reason to better themselves. I guess for those who remain the adage "misery loves company" holds true and the morale is typically at the "misery" level. Unless there's just nothing else better out there for you, then it is better than unemployment...but if you have options, look hard at those first.

Used to be a great place to work

Pros

When I started, there was a work-life balance. You can still have flexible work hours, or work from home, but there's no balance. There is room for advancement, but only because they're laying off all the people above you.

Cons

Layoffs happen every quarter. They lay off the people who know what they're doing, and then wonder why things don't get done. They told salaried employees to get used to "mandatory overtime." There's no sense behind it. The numbers have to look good for that quarter, and it doesn't matter if that means furloughing the people needed to get the work done.

Pros

- When you work at Xerox, and you're interested in moving, the company has positions internationally. You might be able to transfer, depending on your division. - They are ALWAYS hiring, and if you get an interview, you are 90% likely to get a job. - If you are looking to pick up lots of hours, this is definitely the place!

Cons

-Terrible pay (my division averaged 8.75 an hour) for the work required. Technically, they were on an incentive pay, meaning you could make up to 10.50/hour, but there was always a catch, and the 10.50 was rarely paid out. - No chance for advancement; there were four layers in my division, and a lateral promotion with no raise in pay was the best you could do. - According to upper management, company policy is that you have no choice in your schedule or work hours. Overtime is mandatory is many divisions, and if you are in college, you might not be able to work here. They are not flexible with scheduling in the least. - Terrible personnel relations. I was sexually harassed several times, and upper management did nothing about it. There were physical fights and weapons brought in. These issues were not addressed by upper management. According to them, company policy was stricter on attendance than anything else, and they were too overworked dealing with all the people calling out.
