Pros

Retirement match, seemed to be a good job upon college graduation.

Cons

This company is stuck in the dark ages. I was recruited to work here out of college. I knew within the first week that it was not the place for me. I talked with all the managers to look for a new position in the company that would be a better fit for my skill set. About 6 months in I was harassed by a male on my team. This man was very disliked by many employees in the company but was never fired because of his knowledge of the tool. I brought it up to HR and filed a sexual harassment complaint. What did they do? Shoved it under a rug and told me that they couldn't do anything. If you are a young woman who stands up for herself and wants to be a leader in your field, then find somewhere else to go. This company is not a healthy place.

Pros

Entry level to level 5 Techs work well together and support each other, solid people, can’t say the same for management and HR, they can be cut throat.

Cons

Management/ HR act like they are untouchable (which they are) and the techs are peasants that do all the hard work to make the company money. If a tech calls out due to sickness/ family emergency, there is a point system used even if you have the sick/pto time to use. You hit too many points they will fire you. Meanwhile management will call out whenever they want to (night before/day of) and acquire no points because they are salary and just say they might work from home, and leave the team abandoned, no points go on their records. HR gets involved and management will not stand up for you even though HR has no idea who you are, just a number in their system.
