Pros

Nice people on the team willing to help each other out

Cons

So many cons, where do I start. Since I have joined there’s been poor planning for projects. Leadership saying things must get done without proper planning, giving no incentives while employees are overworked (if you are on a team that is doing any sort of project, there are so many teams stuck in planning phases for years). Leadership sets impossible deadlines and tells everyone they are doing great, but fails to recognize that means nothing when their employees are burnt out and getting severely underpaid. Forced to be on call at random hours without proper communication because “it is crucial and important” Every task becomes important which means everything has to get done. You can try to do more work but you most likely will not get a promotion or recognition unless you are best friends with people higher than you. Do your job as is, and it’s considered not enough, but again lack of incentives completely. Managers usually don’t know what the people under them are doing, and pick and choose based off of favoritism. If you are not their favorite , good luck!!

Pros

The people are nice to talk to.

Cons

You take 35+ calls back to back all day. You’re expected to be triple skilled which which is a lie. It’s always a lie, and you’ll always be gaining more skills, but with no greater pay. You also have to say when you’re going to the bathroom. Every single part of your day is tracked and you will be micromanaged and you have to text a group chat every time you get up from your computer even for scheduled lunch and breaks.
