Pros

The life-long friendships I have made with past and present employees.

Cons

The pay is awful. You're not rewarded for your hard work. A 3% salary raise is an insult to our efforts. TCS does not offer professional growth to loyal employees. The CEO has destroyed the company culture. No work-life balance, so if you have a family, you will receive points on a scale of 5 for missing work due to doctor appointments, illnesses, extra curricular activities for children, etc. Employees in higher ranked positions will gossip to and about you. If you have pending diagnosis for serious illness and take FMLA, your manager/ TCS and insurance provider will fail you causing you to lose your job.

Horrible on all fronts

Pros

Elfa. Only Elfa. But not the new stuff.

Cons

C-suite, specifically CEO and COO. Who put these people in charge? Whoever it is should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible for causing the death of TCS. Lack of understanding of our customer Lack of understanding of what made TCS amazing Do not expect consistent or worthwhile raises. The company feels very comfortable withholding raises to the masses while paying out bonuses for poor performance to the buffoons in leadership. Expect to be worked hard without thanks or compensation. It is not unheard of to have employees "fill in" for a role for a "few months" to "see" if they are qualified. Don't fall for it. More work and responsibility without the additional compensation. Communication is Leadership is just so much graffiti on the wall. There is no communication or inclusion. Low, low stock price. The only person I want working here is someone I don't like.
