Pros

The only good thing about working there is the pay was decent for the area and the benefits are good. Quarterly yard sales where everything is a dollar or less. I have thousands of dollars in product for practically nothing.

Cons

Absolutely terrible management from the team leads right up to HR/DCM. Team leads think they have power, supervisors let them get away with doing nothing. Supervisors rarely ever around. Promise one thing and do the other. Turn over rate is unreal. Supervisors being fired left and right only to hire more incompetent and inexperienced people. Very negative atmosphere. Mostly young kids and early 20 year old high school drop outs. Drama everywhere. People climbing over top of other people in hopes of advancement. Girls sleeping around with everyone and claiming sexual harassment. Very sexist environment, the place is practically run by females. Absolutely no job security. Temp agency employees fired left and right. Corporate secretly let go of the old DCM and fed a lie to the employees of how he was moving on to other DC's to do what he did here. One day he was gone and nobody knew why. A whole new upper management team was brought in who do not give a crap about the employees and only the company. Favoritism all over the place. It was a good place to work before the new management came in and ruined everything. Don't expect to be employed here very long.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
