Pros

This is a fairly low-stress environment with an extensive training program, the facilities are nice and there are a lot of good people working there. The pay is neither high nor low.

Cons

They hire big batches of temps and invest a lot in training, but let people go on a daily basis for infractions that permanent employees are able to get away with; as a temp your performance has to be pretty much perfect or you are let go, which is rather unsettling - the temp agency you are working through gives you a call in the morning and tells you to just not come back. There are way too many managers, and I found the one I had to be quite incompetent and sort of a chicken.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
