You're Too Good For This Place, Keep Looking
Pros
- Casual dress - 8 hours a day, and that's it - Co-workers are nice and friendly (most of them), and they'll give you tips for your job search since they're looking, too - Nice location (near 360 and MoPac, lots of shopping centres nearby) - Food trucks because Google is across the way *hint hint* and orders them in
Cons
- Management is comprised of IT-only guys who still don't know anything about the projects they manage, and they see people as tools rather than human beings entitled to proper compensation - The bulk of responsibility is passed on to the team leads who don't make all that much more money than normal team members - One of the managers seems to have issues with female employees (passive-aggression, hostility) - Hardly any room for growth (team lead is the highest role one can achieve) since the company is structured like a temp agency. This is probably ideal if you have no motivation in life and don't care about having a decent job that can afford you nice things (a good chunk of people still work second jobs to make ends meet) - No overtime available, which is good for work-life balance but bad for employees who aren't paid enough - No in-house HR rep so harassment is an issue that's overlooked - They hire college graduates only but can't seem to get quality people anyway. They'll even take University of Phoenix graduates (really?) - No sick days, and vacation accrues at a rate of about 3 hours a month, so by December 31st, you get five. whole. days. off.
