Vantaggi
Most of the people I worked with were wonderful, hard working, and pleasant. This includes many co-workers in other global locations. IT management was competent and usually thoughtful, but known to be passive-aggressive. Compensation was fairly competitive, but not generous by any means. Benefits were average, yet provided plenty of choices if you could afford it.
Svantaggi
When the new CEO took over and froze all merit raises for 2 years while eliminating 66% of the business units, we all knew it was going to be a difficult ride. Note: Mr. Brady received $5 million in bonuses and stocks above his $1.1 million 2015 base salary. As one of the people that terminated employee accounts, I saw the rounds of layoffs that followed. As the layoffs slowed, we discovered that more jobs would be lost, but this time to outsourcing to Chennai, India. One of those was mine, yet I was always in the top third in group productivity. Training is completely nonexistent outside of CPR and fire warden classes. Job security in every department is now a thing of the past. I understand that PTO levels have been recently slashed.
