Pros

My coworkers were all great. Everyone is willing to help each other out. Most of the employees are very nice to work with.

Cons

Using technology that is 28 years old. The system that runs there company is very out dated. What is even worse they don't really even have documentation that describes how and what the system does. You actually have to read the code to find out what the system is doing. If you don't have time to document what your findings were, you may well end up doing this multiple times. No entity diagrams of how the table structures are laid out. Your told to learn this by doing projects. Management in the software department is not supportive to the employees at all.

Pros

If you are in the circle of older employee's you can do whatever you want. If you came from the industry, or you have friends who work here in leadership you have it made. Otherwise, you may want to reconsider your future and the fact that is lies elsewhere.

Cons

Favortism, Lies, Deceit, Poor Treatment, and the Leadership team has to one of the worst I have ever seen. There are favorites from the industries that ER supports, and everyone else. It is a company motivated, and built on a foundation of misleading direction, lack of credit for your accomplishments, poor retention, and leaders who only care about themselves which starts at the very top (CEO). The middle layer of management is so spineless the won't stand up, or defend their own decisions much less those you make with them. If you came here to use your intelligence, or to gain experience, you may find other company's far more impressive. The CEO is a two-faced liar, and the leaders that work for him continually feed you their lies, while they take credit, and ultimately make sure they get where they feel they need to go, you do not matter, and never will. Skill building and training are absent, especially with a highly technical product.
