Pros

You don’t have to work that hard and the pay is good.

Cons

Boring. IT is stuck in the early 2000’s. Waterfall is the in methodology Automated testing is non existent Way too political and no one really wants to just get it done. Senior management does not know what they are doing. Awful. Constant layoffs - the amount of times I had to lay people off over the years is unbelievable. Fake technologists running things in corporate technology areas.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
