Cons
-Medical benefits are poor. They used to be good, but in recent years have gotten worse. The out of pocket detuctible used to be $500 for a family then 80/20 kicked in. Now, the out of pocket detuctible is a staggering $4600 for a family before 80/20 kicks in. This is the primary reason I am looking for another job. -Tends to layoff people with senority because it costs more to keep them on. It is cheaper to hire a person off the street than to have a person on the payroll with 20 years of experience. -High turnover. This is in part because there are many different jobs that you can move around the company in, which is a good thing. However, then no one really gets to know how to do their job and there is a consistent stream of new people who really don't know what to do. Also, this is in part due to the previous mention of laying off people who have been around for a long time. -Poor training. Basically you sit in for a while with someone and then get thrown into the job so you can learn "by fire." There are some training manuels, but they are not updated frequently.
