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

Rough 5 years
Pros: Work from home
It wants more then 20 words, but currently beyond having a pay check, and hunkering down, hoping the nightmare will end, there is very little else.
Cons: Long hours with no Overtime pay, shifts can last 20-70 hours at a time. 15 minute couch naps is considered okay
Bonus's are a rarity
Staff Moral, resembles that of a WW1 soldier in the trench's after a bombing. With such high turn over, everyone is wondering who is next
No training. Although asked at the start of each year, training is a rarity. Think 40 is expected to be done on your own time.
Serious worker shortage often leads to canceled holidays 
Christmas Bonus? Party? Gifts? non existent. Past 5 years building owners have thrown a Christmas Luncheon for all Building occupants. IBM is invited and this appears to be IBM's idea of Christmas. 
Last new years day, employees called in for unexpected work. When complaints launched Manager proclaimed this will provide good motivation not to drink on New Years eve.
Complaints to management on work conditions are often buried and never answered
Work life balance is non existent, as your often called in even when on holidays
Benefits changed this past year and added as taxable benefit, then deducted as expense
Employee awards become taxable income, that $20 mouse pad as an award for good work will turn into $150 taxable income.
Most staff is waiting for an Exit Package, just biding time waiting for the offer to come.
