Advice to Senior Management

The empowerment the manager do is great. But some feedback will be good. Communicate what are the expectations you have for your employees.

Pros

It was great experience for my resume and future jobs. I learned a lot and interacted with some great people because of my position and that network has been very useful.

Cons

The pay was really low relative to other similar positions.

Advice to Senior Management

Worklife in some smaller offices and beaches should be checked regularly.

Pros

Good pay if you are fortune to have a long tenure with ACS. You do learn a lot as most departments are understaffed which affords you the ability to wear different hats.

Cons

Upper management is not concerned with customer service but with the bottom line. It is all about who you know and not what you know. Lay offs are foreseeable even when profits are up.

Advice to Senior Management

Time to review the senior management and their leadership abilities. An open door policy does not exist, literally, doors are closed 75% of the time.

Pros

A good name, great acquisition of xerox company, a big company

Cons

limited benefits, no valuable training, limited career growth

Advice to Senior Management

add more benefits like retirement plan so that people would not look for new company.

Pros

Managers are flexible and try to help employees with work/life balance. You get to meet a diversity of people, some good and some bad and I am talking about the employees working there. Most first line supers were helpful and available if you had questions. The training was extremely fine-tuned and complete so you were comfortable with the various programs you were using when you got to your workstation.

Cons

Apparently the managers or whoever is hiring still does not check into the background of employees well enough. There seemed to be a noticeable lack of professionalism in a number of the employees working there in the way that they dressed and conducted themselves.

Advice to Senior Management

Get even more stringent with the hiring and background checking of employees. Try to hire the best quality employees possible. Really listen when interviews are being conducted to determine better the maturity and professionalism level of the person.

Pros

Great Domain Knowledge Experience, Work closely with Business Analysts. Learn about the full suite of IBM products and Commercial Off the Shelf software
