Company set on world domination, run by idiots!!!

Pros

Pay PAy PAY That's abouot the best thing about the company. They do not mind paying a better than average salary.

Cons

Management is set on "owning" its employees. Time-off, not here, constant harassment and guilt trips for not answering phones or working on days off. Managers are in over their heads, no experience for level they have been promoted to and make juvenile decisions that affects people’s lives. Managers lie to their subordinates and set them up as fall guys when things go wrong.

Pros

Money Company resources Opportunity to be randomly reassigned to a position or location you know nothing about and never wanted $5K referral bonus

Cons

High turnover Reassignment is seen as development Frequent organizational rearrangements move people to positions that they are not qualified for Culture does not respect opinions of experienced professionals unless it is convenient The stated operating model is to mechanize most processes to the point that no thought is required and only one person can do the job. Frustrating processes are so restrictive and incomplete that issues frequenlty go unresolved Bad location Those that question policy are demoted or dismissed
