Pros

Lots of work from home - nights, weekends, and holidays. Fairly reasonable pay. Casual Fridays and jeans weeks (for donations) fairly regularly. Mostly good people in the trenches with you.

Cons

The workers work, 50+ hours/wk, but "connected" slackers abound. Cost savings on insurance have led to horrible plans with the "Biometric Police" which (based on another large employer in town's experience) appear to be designed to deny benefits after a couple years of "non-improvement" and "Toothless Dental" shopped out of Georgia, with copays higher than the percentage they cover. Integrating Metavante and Fidelity into one company is taking too long and it has brought bureaucracy and inefficiencies, not opportunities to the Metavante side of the company. Many folks have been working for months or even over a year with little or no management. All new managers seem to be in Florida, avoid the Metavante folks, and quit or shuffle teams when they can't make changes on a dime.

Pros

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Cons

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
