Pros

The ability to learn a lot of different aspects of mainframe storage and all the capabilities surrounding it, along with a staff that had no egos to deal with and were all willing to help, was wonderful, to say the least.

Cons

Over the past two years, IBM has detracted from what is important: the customer or the stakeholders. Too much emphasis has been placed on overburdening staff with work and not enough resources to handle it. The ability to work overtime to address some issues has gone away, which leaves employees discouraged.

Advice to Management

Advice to management is to treat employees like they are part of something special, not as a statistic.
