An awful place to work

Pros

There are no pros to working here. It will drain every ounce of optimism you have until you are an empty husk.

Cons

- Low salaries. Bad raises. - Awful benefits, bare minimum. Expect to work most holidays that you'd have off in other companies. - Large portion of the workforce is apathetic. Toxic attitudes, laziness, politics, and ineptitude. - Complete inability to retain talent. Nobody with skill wants to work with a company so full of apathy, outdated technology, over-the-fence-throwing, and impractical/non-industry-standard processes. - Complete inability to hire talent. Open positions go months to years (!!) without being filled. In many cases, they give up and replace positions left by exiting highly-skilled employees with unqualified contractors that put in the minimum effort required to fill their contracts. - Huge amounts of IT issues are never resolved, making work frustrating and often impossible. - Politics, politics, politics. Ask a question in the all-hands and expect a 10-minute multi-paragraph political diatribe that says the same amount of absolutely nothing forty times in a row in forty different ways, where the actual answer could have been a concise 10 _seconds_ if they actually cared to answer it. They even tried to remove anonymous questions, because they were tired of people asking tough, relevant questions.

Pros

Seemingly laid back culture. Central Galleria location.

Cons

Disorganized. These are the kinds of people that chase their tales day in and day out, but instead of growing weary of being dizzy at the end of the day they slap a new name on it and try again tomorrow. They need to have some frank discussions about how to be efficient, and trust the people they bring in to solve it. Too many pretenders, not enough leaders. I heard not a single positive story about their CIO. Not during the interview process, or during my time in the building. Not one.

Pros

Pros--decent benefits, including time off accruals for hours worked. Hours reasonably flexible as long as you don't abuse the privilege. And that's about it.

Cons

This place is chock full of unhappy people who are seemingly happy to be unhappy. Drama, gossip, cliques, backstabbing, and sabotage are rampant. The managers that care have their hands tied by HR to avoid lawsuits and, likely, having to pay unemployment bennies.
