Pros

A 12-hour work shift means you only have to work 3 or 4 days a week. You get at least 2 weeks of paid vacation, with the opportunity to earn more.

Cons

You have to work most major holidays, including the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. They never have funds available for morale-building events like they had in the past.

If you have issues with payroll, you must call employee services, where you are directed to a call center overseas. These employees have no real idea what's going on, only a rough black-and-white outline of what is supposed to happen. There is a HUGE disconnect between even the manager and payroll.

When you leave IBM, it is very common for them to overpay you and then either take the money back (straight from your bank account) or send you a bill, threatening to send it to collections if you do not pay. They hire, fire, and lay off thousands of people every year... you would think they would get this right by now.

Advice to Management

Help build morale within the company. And figure out your payroll issues.
