Great opportunity to make good money and develop skills in managing your image.

Everything else. Political environments, aggressive deadlines, annual layoff and budget cuts, and under qualified people everywhere.

Technology Organization is not what it marketed out to be

Anonymous employee

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

It *used* to be innovative and exciting working in the Technology organization. Everything broke down once the new EVP Technology came onboard.

Cons

Most Technology employees do not dare to speak up their mind. If they do, they will know where the door is.

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are great! Direct management is great!

Cons

Executive mgmt., hours required to work, stock only given to executives for the most part(we are given 10 shares the executives are given 10,000 shares)! Benefits are in a steep decline! New employees go look elsewhere for your future until Executive mgmt. changes! If you are an intern they will definitely take care of you! Makes no business sense!
