Pros

Skill Development in I.T. makes us very productive and marketable

Cons

Very heavy management hierarchy - Ratio of IT managers to programmers is 3 to 1 if you count all managers. Too much overlap and negative environment because managers are afraid to lose their jobs so they will usually do anything to make themselves look valuable.

Pros

Work from home, Ok opportunities to learn more but opportunities are becoming slim.

Cons

Between Micromanagement, work overload and with the use of vendors and AI employees are at risk. Corporate seems to not care that were all tired of the customers that are being abusive when corporates made bad decisions and these poor people have thousands withdrawn from an AI error. Pay for this level of company and the increasing headaches is not good, no monthly bonus, no commissions. No pension. Health benefits are available but not affordable. And the undo stress is causing my peers to consider quiting even ones that been here over 10yrs
