Pros

Growing company; Good place to start for young graduates or for someone wanted to further their education; Work & Life balance environment is good for young mother.

Cons

Lack of talent retention initiative in place; Work Performance Assessments; Training is limited for employees with specialized skills. Company's values are not consistently translating from top to bottom ( the message seem to get diluted when it gets to some VPs, and most of AVPs and Directors); Compensation is not competitive.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
