Pros

They are open to trying new processes, if you can sell that to them.

Most groups are good to work with, and are willing to help when asked.

Cons

There is a forced time-off policy. This year, the workers are required to take 5-6 weeks off. They have to use their vacation (PTO), and when that has been used up, they have to take the time off without pay.

Pay raises are scant. One time all the managers had at least a 10% reduction in salary. This was not made up for the next salary increase.

Things are very political there, and people will back stab as needed to cover their own behind.

Advice to Management

Provide better support to folks. Find other ways to reduce cost other than outsourcing and FTO.
