Svantaggi
While this is not all necessarily on Great-West it is on their recordkeeping service Fascore, (who works alongside Great West employees, same buildings) you wouldnt be able to really tell the employees apart. Working in the department though is entirely different. Tons of behind your back talking, playing favorites with employees who are not remotely close to as being as good as others but since they suck up to some of the team leads they are more likely to keep their job or not get assigned specific work tasks. They don't want you talking to eachother, they dont want you discussing what you may have messed up on and how you could correct it with a fellow employee. They want you to sit at your desk, stare at the computer and not say a word. Unless your a team lead/manager then by all means lead by example and talk all you want! The immaturity is aggravating. They will say be at your desk at this time not one minute later otherwise its a tardy, while they can hardly make it to work 10 minutes late everyday. I have never worked for an employer/department that has been so ridiculous. Fascore is all data entry, if you can make it past your year and transfer to Great-West its a decent entry level job to get your foot in the door.
