Pluspunten
They are willing to accept anybody who applies regardless of experience. Good selection at the vending machines. Restrooms are plentiful. On-site cafeterias carry a wide variety of food. A few highly motivated and competent individuals remain and working with them is highly educational. Good benefits package.
Minpunten
Poor compensation. Our department resides in a facility that was a former shipping warehouse, now converted into a spartan setting where managers and supervisors offices see out to the "production floor" so they can keep tabs. Management has the uncanny ability to listen to every single piece of feedback from employees yet implement no change or at worst a change that was not suggested. People who have proven to be unable to show leadership are promoted into leadership positions. Workload is a constant jumble of overarching priorities and whatever is deemed important that hour. Constant promises of change that are never fulfilled. Revolving door of employees who come onboard, quickly get burned out and leave. Software and database tools are held together by tape are slow and/or do not work correctly. Dept policy on compensation and raises is stated to be based on an individuals work output, yet new hires start employment at wages that are close to or higher than employees that have been in the dept for several years. Zero room or time for professional growth, if you are effective in your role you will be singled out to carry the workload.
