Pros
Really enjoyed working on the national network for the carrier. Would have stayed if I could have worked remotely every other week or even once a month. Felt really good about the job we did. We made things happen in very tough circumstances. Benefits were better than the average US company.
Kontras
- Worked a position that became 100% travel and 100% nights. Not the original position I took. Management never lets up on their people. Gone for two weeks on the road. Home for 48 hours then back on the road again. 365 days a year. If you don't like that. Don't take a travel position with ERIC.. - New grad hire working there after 5 years, still making below 50k per year with the responsibility of working on a National Carrier's core network. That was pretty sad. Those new grads (now seasoned veterans) were SHARP! - Felt like a high tech indentured servant. - HR department doesn't have a clue, or care, of how hard and long these guys work..HR goes home every afternoon and doesn't have a clue that people are working days and nights (regularly) while on the road. Hey HR, do you notice that the Integration team is quitting?
