Pros

Some real laughs were had sharing in each others misery. I never had to worry much about what my boss thought because I had a new one every few months. (Literally 12 different bosses in 6 years) One time I actually got to do a project where I was able to use the knowledge gained obtaining my Masters Degree. They gave me a laptop and a phone so I could go home and work all night instead of having to stay in the office. HR and management do not discriminate. Narcissism and Sociopathic behavior is not only accepted, it is encouraged, often rewarded with a management position.

Cons

Graduate degrees are expected for the most menial jobs, but only minimum salaries are offered. Nothing works there. Every expectation and goal is based on pure conjecture and therefore unobtainable. The office is laid out like a call center so you can't ever hear yourself think. Management will insist you do the same thing over and over and they actually expect different results.

Pros

Good company, good culture overall

Cons

Pay could be less than the market, though not too low. Work life balance does cover some of that gap

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
