Pros

Contractors have a bit more freedom, but employees suffered lower wages, mediocre medical benefits, and unpaid extended workdays, including weekends.

Cons

The internet use is constantly being monitored, and sites are being blocked. This is something I had not experienced at other IT companies.

Privacy concerns were held by everyone, from users to employees.

The company suddenly cut back on all the employees' basic perks, such as coffee, tea, and kitchen utensils. Employees were forced to organize potlucks to buy these items or bring their own.

Low morale was felt by most employees.

Advice to Management

Who will listen?

They don't care about their employees, especially in this economy where they see people as interchangeable.
