Current Employee – been working at Affiliated Computer Services full-time
Pros – Hiring process was really fast for me.

Advice to Senior Management – At least give some bonus or even a small pay raise even for those who have been working for at least 5 years.

Former Employee – worked at Affiliated Computer Services full-time for more than a year
Pros – Limited vertical mobility
Performance based bonuses
Got to work with Apple
Cons – Little to no mentoring from Ops/Project Mgmt

Advice to Senior Management – Make more of an effort to train those below you. Always have a mind set of training your replacements. Be willing to tell a customer that their demands are unrealistic.

Former Employee – worked at Affiliated Computer Services full-time for less than a year
Pros – Good beginner intro to the airline business. The trainers mean well.
Cons – Supervisors are either excellent or idiots. You can tell who actually has worked for an airline or in CS before, and god help you if you have more experience than some of them. Shameful treatment of front line employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Shake it up. Listen to those who have worked in the industry. Don't accept 'supervisors' who have absolutely no people skills.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Affiliated Computer Services as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – Flexible schedule is a plus
Cons – No concept of work/life balance. Leadership encourage minimal planning with an expectation of pushing deliverables out with little or no QA. No one is held accountable for the work performed. Company has no documented methodology of what the processes are. Work environment is very demeaning with no level of employee appreciation. Leaders talk-the-talk, but when it comes to execution, they run away.
Advice to Senior Management – Enforce documented processes to be followed and appreciate the people who do the work. Resources can only be as good as the leadership provided. Would highly recommend two-way communication with associates and help them achieve client goals and objectives.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
