Pros

Great manager that supports and works hard for our department. My team is very collaborative and supportive. Lots of team training and help. Great products and a lot of potential to get back to being a great company

Cons

Upper management rules by fear. Lots of decisions made by upper management without knowing if they are feasible or good ideas. Upper management constantly promises things to customers without ever talking to the development teams. The healthcare network in the salt lake area is terrible. The dollar rules over ethics at times. Upper management is constantly pushing for employees to work overtime, with no compensation. Lots of witch hunts trying to find who made a mistake instead of finding a solution and moving on. Lots of decisions to release software without allowing for proper testing.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
