Pros

Good employees to work with. Probably the most talented and dedicated group of people I have worked with in all my life. On special occasions we are allowed to wear jeans to work, but we must donate $5.00 to their charity. At their rate of pay, I might be a recipient to the charity.

Cons

Ever since the merger this has become the worst place to work for. Tension and stress is high. Massive lay-offs. You don't know if your the next person to be laid off. Now we are all over worked since we have lost good people with talent. We have not had a raise in two years. Depending on tenure, we have lost between 1 to 2 weeks of vacation due to new FIS policies. I have calculated that I have lost over $8000 in benefits just in 2010 alone which will rollover year after year and will grow with inflation and lack of pay raises. In addition, the vacation time I lost with my family is priceless. We also do not recieve any training in new technologies. All the employees I know are looking for a better company and when the economy gets better, I doubt they will stay. How will America get out of a recesion when the executives pay themselves more with salary, bonuses and stocks while we employees get less and less each year? Look at the form DEF-14A in the NYSE at Frank Martire bonuses while it was Metavante (MV). Sorry about typos, so angry!

Pros

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Cons

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
