Pros

Pay is good. Cafeteria is good.

Cons

Core IT is a disaster. The old, tired women leading the BTS are overwhelmed and under qualified. They outsourced large portions of the business and have never had experience in this type of environment. They yell a lot but give little direction. Layoffs all the time (more today). No job is safe and hours are long. It's a total mess. Ask any one of the hundreds they've erased in the last 12 months.
