Avantages

Company name is great and looks good on a resume. LGBT are welcome and that says a lot.

Inconvénients

The bottom line is more important than people, that includes its employees and customers. Shareholder satisfaction drives business, which leads to insane cuts and increased employee dissatisfaction. They've cut the IT dept, for example, to such levels that only very senior management get the support that every employee deserves--a 1-3 day turnaround for basic basic IT support. In this cost-cutting-you're-lucky-you-have-a-job environment, employees feel like they have to work on their time offs and while on vacation and put in 60-75 hour weeks; some a lot more. While these cuts are going on, management of course, lives high off the hog. Management is unproductive. They start lots of initiatives that go nowhere. They are poor communicators. I suspect they communicate with employees via email because they're too embarrassed to lie to us to our faces. Most discouraging though is that they let go excellent/productive people or pass them over for promotion in favor of less competent people that they, management, likes.

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Inconvénients

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
