Pros
Co-workers are pretty much the only reason I stayed working there for so long. Other than that, I cannot think of another pro. Well, to be fair, salary isn't too bad, and they do give bonuses. On the bonuses, if they tell you 10%, that is a lie. The most you can make depending on your position is probably 7% and that is if the company does well, and how well. The bonuses are decent, and hey free money is always good money.
Cons
I don't want to draw this out, so I will try to summarize - Politics - This is pretty much the biggest reason I left. Executives are pampered and are allowed to circumvent policies as they please. The current CIO has even admitted to "going with the flow" and enabling this behavior. No one here is wanting a real change to this corporate culture, and the people who do, do not have the power to do anything about it. - Misuse of employee talent/expertise - Let's call it how it is. Management are the ones making the decisions around here, when it comes to IT infrastructure. They hire experts and tell them what to do, instead of the other way around. Decisions are made on personal preferences and beliefs, and are usually based on ignorance. Do they even ask us? Sometimes, does it affect their decisions? No! - Nickel-and-Diming - Yes you read that correctly. A billion dollar company Nickel-and-Diming on the most ridiculous things. It's disheartening when you get told you cannot spend $100 a month on a team lunch, yet spend thousands upon thousands on things that do not have any value. - The need of having everyone work from the office. If you are in the I.T. field. You understand that we as a team can work remotely. Not at Sheridan, they want to make sure you fill that seat. - Human Resources has way too much power. I have never heard of an HR department telling managers what they should do with their employees, (e.g. working remotely). I did not enjoy working at Sheridan, and it seems to be a trend as people are leaving in droves for new opportunities.
