Vantaggi
BerkOne was incredibly flexible with my work schedule, allowing me to work around my class schedule. This is something most other jobs would not have done, and I'm very grateful for them for it. They also had a great time off package, with personal time, vacation days, and sick days. I also appreciated the yearly reviews and the pay raises that went with it, which isn't always the case for companies.
Svantaggi
Management was a mess. When I started working there in 2012, things were great, and I was happy to work there. This changed drastically when the management system was revamped. A person was placed in charge of the department who didn't have enough experience to properly run the department. The department wasn't big, but there were three shifts to handle the round the clock work that came in, and there were different deadlines and turn around times for the various clients, and the manager did not properly manage the workflow, with the backlash falling onto the shift managers, who did not deserve it. In addition to this, there was some natural rivalry between the shifts, but this was exacerbated by management and the poor handling of the workload, especially when the work wasn't finished on one shift and it ended up falling on the next. The worst part of the job was the boys' club atmosphere that began when management was revamped. The person put in charge very clearly had favorites in the department and some were promoted beyond what they had experience for or knowledge of, which caused more problems with the workload, since they didn't always adequately handle it. This also came into play when disciplinary measures sometimes needed to be handed down, and what would ordinarily be a fire-able offense(a promoted shift manager adjusted the time clock with his girlfriend, who worked under him, so that it wouldn't show that she'd been late) was not treated as such. Others were treated harshly for other offenses that didn't seem to merit it. Overall, by the time I left the place, I was glad to get out and wouldn't recommend to anyone to work here, at least not in the Imaging department. The favoritism and the boys' club environment that crept in with the new manager and the problems that crept in because of it was very disappointing since I'd been so happy with the company when I started.
