Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

7 years of outsourcing, off-shoring, downsizing, pay decreases with increased workloads, benefit evaporations.
Pros: Flexible hours, working from home.
Cons: Management is top-heavy.  Jobs of hard-working U.S. employees are constantly being outsourced, off-shored, downsized.  Cost-cutting is the only goal.  Ageism is rampant.  No job security.  Project Management is a joke:  efficiency and hard work is ignored, old knowledge/experience has been retired, cut up and replaced by multiple foreign workers who don't know or understand how anything works together. Pay has decreased every year, no bonuses, OT no longer paid. No pension, 401(k) company match only at end of calendar year if one is "lucky" enough to still be employed.  Employee morale could not be lower.  Non-management employees considering unionizing.  Employee desktop tools are last century; offshore "Help" desk not helpful as they cannot understand questions or "don't know that product."
