Information Technology Specialist Reviews - Page 8

I wish there was a direction or career path. The management seems to fly by the seat of their pants. They make impossible goals, which can’t be reached due to lack of manpower or time to try to achieve them. Departments are disabled if 1 or 2 people take PTO. Hard to be motivated when the amount of responsibility forced upon department, without any additional compensation. Large projects are scheduled during summer hours, which force them to deny vacations during that time. They expect you to “live to work”! Because your time is not important. They preach well being, volunteerism and family life, but don’t respect your time you need for it. Creativity, team spirit, encouragement, self-betterment or motivation to do better, are all just words without action or meaning here. This is one of those companies that used to care for its employees, now they could care less if you stay or go. I’ve heard management say to employees “No one is forcing you to stay here to work” which is cold and uncaring.

People come to retire for this company. For salaried office workers, they are extremely flexible. Culture is great. You have to negotiate benefits on the way in, because it’s near impossible to get decent raises after you’re hired.
