Pros

Thoughtful, Mature workers who really do want to do a good job everyday at work.

Cons

Misguided and poor IT Senior management. IT Senior Management has too many type-A personality leaders who make ill-informed decisions that impact everyone below them very negatively. Not much effort to directly engage people in the trenches doing the actual work. Attempt after attempt to rotate new leaders instead of demoting poor leaders. IT Managers get promoted on their ability to hold a microphone and speak, rather on their ability to thoughtfully create a functional organization on all levels.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
