Pros

Amazing Benefits Comperable Total Compensation Flexible Word Schedules

Cons

It's very clear the most recent reorganization were made based on someone moving boxes on an org chart to middle managment that are "popular.' There was no understanding of the work that was actually being done by the groups that were moved. Six months later, still trying to sort out who should be doing what. How many hours you'll end up working really depends on where you work and who your manager is. Have been in groups where is 65 hour week is normal just to try to keep up and others where it's a standard 35 hours.

Pros

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

Cons

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
