Good benefits and pay. Great work life balance although that was going in the wrong direction since the opportunity to work at home was being eliminated.

Constant downsizing lead to a very negative work environment.

Antiquated Corporate structure and Mgt Strategy

Network support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, but those are shrinking regularly.

Cons

Disjointed, little cohesiveness, management plays corporate role of lip service to quality and customer service and standards. No clear paths for career progression and disappearing budgets mean that training is limited to "knowledge transfer sessions" or CBTs which are poorly done and ineffective.
