Pros

Some very good people and average benefits

Cons

A company culture that makes it very difficult to do a quality job, no work life balance, below average compensation - expectation of a 200% commitment while paying at 75-80% (sometimes much lower) industry norms, and, outdated and poorly developed systems.

Pros

Employee's get Award For Excellence Often for doing their job. They say they are working from home, when they don't answer email or IM's, or their phone.

Cons

Management doesn't feel it's necessary to give the Admin's Award for Excellence, nor are they permitted to work from home. The original pay is good, however, the increase yearly is horrible, and the medical benefits are a joke. The MIU Union President is a Drama Queen and does nothing.

The training is top notch, and the people are great.

Cons

The culture is terrible, there were no new hires for over 8 years and upper management did not listen to feedback from customers or employees.
