        Pros

        -ability to work from home -ok comp & ben -great co-workers (speaking only of my experience with MSC)

        Cons

        - lousy sales comp plan (for MSC) - no clear demarcation of responsibilities between the departments - almost no opportunity for growthalmost no opportunity for growthalmost no opportunity for growth - upper management keeps talking about 'a great quarter' or 'a great year,' but it doesn't translate into more for the employees - no real training for career growth - company doesn't invest in their employees to further their skills - horrible customer care. I've personally encountered (many) clients that have said they were given empty promises just so a sale could be made. (this is just the tip of the iceberg unfortunately)

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          The pay and benefits were the best I ever had. My co-workers and manager helped me the best they could. The company hired me when no other technology company would, and I was exposed to the e-commerce industry. GXS has many Fortune 500 and international clients and continues to grow.

          Cons

          When I was hired, I received almost no training to do my job. Documentation for how to do common tasks was almost nonexistent. The work environment was chaotic and full of pressure. Crises occurred on a daily basis from faulty systems and high-impact production issues. Everyone in my department felt frustrated most of the time from not knowing how to do their job or not having the tools to do their job. Poor communication between departments hurt customer service. Customers often complained about poor service and had to escalate issues just to get them resolved. Layoffs have resulted in understaffed departments. Senior management focuses too much on sales growth and not enough on service quality.

                    Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                    Senior Resource Manager

                    Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
