Pros
Bargained pay is in line with the job and cost of living of the Metro Area in order to support any kind of independent lifestyle.
Cons
1)The only thing consistent is inconsistency. 2)Benefits for being underwritten have out of the pocket expense that is outrageous. 3)401k poorly administered with choices. 4)ESOP plan gives too much fiduciary latitude to management, using funds as they choose until the 6-month mark comes to purchase shares. Who has ever heard of open enrollment on ESOP's? 4)Intergration is poorly executed, 'why reinvent the wheel'. 5)Too many vendors/outsourcing which create very poor relations with customer's receiving a one-call resolution. 6)Arrogant Sr Mgmt, feels like a hostile takeover and not buyout. 7)Micro managed. 8) Tools to do the job unstable. 9)Clear direction other than being the 'biggest' is an issue, no forthought. 10)Can be a very frustrating environment to perform to your ability. 11)Training is hasty and poorly executed with responsibility weighted on the employee. 12)Understaffed.
