Pros

Big company that has reasonable benefits and pay. If you want a job to hide out in, chances are you can find a job that you can skate if that is your goal.

Cons

Everyone is looking out for themselves and for their own promotions. The customer is not on the radar and is considered to be a pain. Wake up, who really gives you your pay check? Trying to get anything done is painful. Too many data basis that do not sync with each other, too many repetitive steps that take time away from other tasks, and unreasonable goals that are given late (and can change at anytime) with no rhyme or reason and work against those who are on your team. Big turnover. HR is there to for management's benefit, not the employee.

Thank you for sharing your concerns! It sounds like the core problem is related to working through a large amount of processes and as a result, you've noticed some of the human element is lost. Even though you are no longer with the company, we appreciate you looking out for the customer, and as we move forward we will continue to hire those that share a similar mindset to yourself.
