Avantages
Decent pay, time off, and little stress. There is no management involvement so people come and go as they please. If you are happy with the money then this is your place. You'll go nowhere and learn little so don't expect a career here. You'll make decent money and it will give you a great work life balance! There are great people to work with at the lower levels. Management is seldom seen or heard from. Many of them seem smart and are pleasant to work with. They just aren't involved at all. I enjoyed working here for eight years and was sad to see it deteriorate over the last few years. A lot of great people left or were let go. I give the place a three, because I enjoyed my fellow employees and felt I was paid fairly. That is a five. Zero career path, culture, and management add up to one .
Inconvénients
Zero culture. Management are ghosts. I'm amazed that some of the charismatic leaders don't do more. I assume it is because they aren't empowered so they can't make any real decisions. The software is a must have in the industry yet they can't seem to turn things around. There have been a number of acquisitions over the years and integration between them has always been an issue. Management needs to concentrate on that for a year. You won't receive any communication from corporate except for once a year. The company outlook held every once in a while on a conference call is extremely vague. No details and all about management. They move themselves around a lot and change up their titles and reports. The meetings mean little to the masses. When there are company parties and events you seldom see managers. It's as if those events are done as the bare minimum to remind employees that there is a company still. In the eight years I worked at TPT I never saw one promotion. People left and the usual response was to not back fill them and divide up the work. Occasionally, the job was given to someone internally. A true promotion would be to build a new team or given a new title and not just filling a void because they have to.
