Pros

Better average work environment.

Overtimes are paid, but only for certain levels.

Everything is better with a good manager. If you are under a bad manager, you will want to leave.

Usually a calm work environment without stress.

Cons

Lack of training is the biggest disadvantage.

Strict policies regarding salary, rewards.

The contract prohibits doing similar jobs elsewhere.

Yearly increases are about only 1.5 - 2.5%.

Bad manager leads to a bad work environment.

Strongly task-oriented environment. Having good ideas is useless. Management mostly doesn't care.

Bureaucracy everywhere.

Internal policy trainings occur every few months via a web application which is not even working properly.

Advice to Management

For a carrier growth not suitable environment. Friends move only friends upper. Many times skills level is not prioritized over friendship for the job possition which then reflects to people at Tier 3 to have poor knowledge and experience.
