Pros

If you are a crappy employee there are plenty of places to hide in the bureaucracy.

Cons

The new leadership does not care about the employee's. All they care about is shedding the expensive workers salaries in the Northeast. Making workers reapply for their jobs and move to NC or be laid off. This used to be a great place to work but now all of the good people that know how all the systems work are leaving in droves and anyone coming in to the IT dept has a giant pile of crap to deal with. It will be chaos there for the next several years. So enter at your own risk but remember I told you so.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
