Pros

Good work/life balance; good people (staff) and decent culture; great benefits and fair and competitive pay

Cons

Senior leadership inconsistent and frequently out of touch; company is trying very hard to reinvent itself in this competitive area and has a ways to go - if you can make it through the ride to the other side it could be rewarding; often challenging to bring in new ideas and technologies - frequently mired in the day to day.

Pros

Entry level to level 5 Techs work well together and support each other, solid people, can’t say the same for management and HR, they can be cut throat.

Cons

Management/ HR act like they are untouchable (which they are) and the techs are peasants that do all the hard work to make the company money. If a tech calls out due to sickness/ family emergency, there is a point system used even if you have the sick/pto time to use. You hit too many points they will fire you. Meanwhile management will call out whenever they want to (night before/day of) and acquire no points because they are salary and just say they might work from home, and leave the team abandoned, no points go on their records. HR gets involved and management will not stand up for you even though HR has no idea who you are, just a number in their system.
