Easy to feel neglected as a corp outpost.
Pros
The crew are a pretty OK bunch and the manager is great and tries to be attentive/supportive. Free parking.
Cons
1. Zero training, everything is "pick it up as you go along" 2. Salaries are not the greatest. 3. Career progression, people have to literally leave for any kind or progression or development. 4. We are an outpost in a company and are often forgotten about entirely. Seen the IT crowd episode where everyone and their dog gets thanks for their contribution with the exception of the IT dept? That's us in a nutshell. No one remembers us until there is an issue and then everyone remembers our number. We have been the only team that has carried on throughout the covid situation, so at times it gets very lonely in an empty building. It takes its toll mentally, esp on a night shifts. There are a few of us that are experiencing mental health issues due to the feeling isolation and being cut off from the rest of the company and group.
