Pros

- depending which department, above average pay. Low end salary but unlimited commission - beautiful, clean, scenic facility - decent health insurance - large company so you meet a lot of nice people - on site cafe, gym and coffee shop

Cons

- the pay can be great but it can also suck. Depends on what clients you are given, what specialized team you're on, what kind of work you're getting daily and how good/fast you are doing the job. They hire people in with an unrealistic expectation as to what their salary will be. While the salary can be great and above average, most people never achieve that level of commissions and are disappointed. - they do not value employee retention. AT ALL. Do not ever expect to feel valued or respected or get a pat on the back for staying with them 20 years. The only thing you'll get is an extra 5 days vacation (after 5 years) and a Rolex watch (after 15 years) which is nice, but not a whole lot to look forward to. You are maxed at 4 client accesses, so once you have your 4 accesses after 2 years, you'll never get another new client. NEVER. There is zero advantage to staying long term, unless the reason is just because you want to. Old man Rawlings refers to employees as "cows" because he can herd them in then herd them right back out. - no loyalty, unless you kiss butt to anyone in a higher up position. Even then, everyone stabs everyone in the back. Office politics are horrible and a lot of times unethical. You have directors who "direct" family members, you have higher ups having relationships with their subordinates, managers that talk about team members to other employees within ear shot.....terrible culture. And the morale reflects it. Very negative 8am meetings EVERY SINGLE DAY to tell you what you did wrong the day before, how much you need to do today, etc. it honestly makes you wish you would have just stayed home in bed! - you must work, work, work. They don't like people having fun, forming friendships, or socializing. That only means you're missing out on a few dollars you could have invoiced during those 10 minutes. Managers and co-workers are like spy's, everyone tattle tales on everyone like they are in kindergarten and it's totally unprofessional. The culture makes people be that way, which is unfortunate. - training is awful. Recent trainers have been TERRIBLE and I think the work and turn over rate reflects it. No one says anything about it though because no one really gives a heck what you think. Just sit down and do your job. - human resources is awful. They violate more rules and ethics than anywhere else in the building. They are the laughing stock among employees. Don't go there if you need help or advice, unless you want fired or you just want to be their topic of conversation for the day. - constant fear of losing your job. No matter what department or title, people wonder everyday if that will be the day it ends. Rawlings in stills this fear in people. It likes for you to feel like that. They hang your job over your head day in and day out because of production, time off or they just don't like you. It's sad. Also no succession plan when the big guy passes away, so no one has a clue what to expect next. - zero flex time or ability to work remotely from home. There never will be. No headphones. - hope you can drive in a blizzard because you either make it there (on time) or you use a personal vacation day. THE PLACE NEVER CLOSES.
