Computer systems are outdated and slow. They have attempted to move to a paperless system which has been a nightmare. If you did not get what you wanted when you came in the door $$$$ then you got screwed because who knows when your going to get a raise and if you do it will probably not be much of 1. 2% is normal if they give a raise. The gossip (caused by the lack of comunication from management to peons) is a horrible. Be prepared to go to a company who has outsourced part of its work force to India and no doubt will be sending more jobs overseas as any ME TOO company will do if they think it will save a few $. Dont get mad when the execs get there 3 mil bonuses in stock options and you got nothing because they worked hard for that money and the people who own stock voted to give them that.
