Admin. Staff
Pros: LIked the work I did - very challenging. For the most part, management left you alone to get your work done. Very busy, days went by fast, met a lot of nice people. Nice working environment & atmosphere.
Cons: I worked for IBM for over 10 yrs. and liked it very much - in the beginning. The pay wasn't that good, but the health care benefits were great. Not anymore. The pay is "still" not good for admin. staff and the health benefits are now downright dreadful. Deductible is over $5,000 for a family of 4 plus you still have to pay a couple hundred bucks a month for your healthcare, which you're lucky to even use unless you hit your deductible. Discontinued medical insurance for retirees unless you're old enough to meet certain criteria. If you're caught in the middle, they give you a little cash, that's it. PBC appraisals are downright stupid. They have "quotos" to meet and "must" give hard working employees bad appraisals to meet stupid quotos.  IBM is terrible to the Admin. staff with flex time/work-life balance. They are much better if you are a professional.
