Pros

Benefits are really good. Vacation is excellent - 27 days to start. Work from home policy is very liberal for most.

Cons

Horrible offices - WORST conditions I ever experienced - really dirty building, no frills whatsoever - you are expected to buy your own lap top, likely won't have a phone or desk. Any desk you get won't even be a cubicle, but just a desk, next to lots of other desks in a really loud, dirty work environment. The Procurement/Purchasing/Supply Chain division is really bureaucratic and LAME. Lots and lots of uneducated people. Lots of people who act as if they work for the DMV - very rude, unhelpful, "take a number" sort of attitude. A very UNsophisticated management team in this division. High turnover. Ridiculously cumbersome processes. Constantly turning people into cogs in a wheel. This isn't a career - this is the place you go when your career is over and you just want to park somewhere until you retire ... or die! Maybe I'm already dead - no one I work with noticed. Given the high level of unprofessionalism, I'm embarrassed to call some of these people "colleagues". Other smart people are stuck at a dirty desk with next to nothing to do.

Pros

Coming from a long time in the public service I was a bit nervous of the work pace, however it has been a great transition. The team and leadership supplied me with all the equipment and most of the programs I needed to get started on the first day. I have constant support for any of my ideas and my business insights even though I'm new to this industry.

Cons

The four day in office requirement is a bit much, though being new it is good to be in and meet colleagues. There seems to be a few different groups within the same business line that are working/competing towards the same project goal and the lower management are unaware the project was shared with other groups. Duplicity of the project has created a "my outcome is better" attitude.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
