Pros

Good pay, nominally for service desk work, decent healthcare though it is California based and this is at the USAA Main Office in San Antonio.

Cons

They classify you as a salaried but listed as "flexible work week" so they can pay you 0.5X overtime, if they pay at all. Normally it's just a gift card at around $10 an hour worked. Also, time off is frowned upon and is very hard to take, if you ask for it less than two weeks out you will be rejected. Promotions are not merit based, but totally on who you live with or are buddies with. If you are looking to move up, don't look here. We've had leads leave because their pay was never increased. Management is 100% about the numbers, you are a resource, and if you aren't perfect they will drop you like a bad habit. Very "Top down" leadership, don't expect much training of guidance once you are on the floor. You have to figure out what is going wrong before you get "a talk" about your lack of performance.

Pros

Data Center Exposure Free lunch in cafeteria at Mesa location Can have a lot of downtime Not aggressively tracking you on everything Job is not difficult

Cons

no free lunch for other locations in valley Pay could be better Only contracted to work with the data center company, HCLTech could potentially lose the contract not directly employed by data center company. No benefits if working through an agency, only paid holidays if direct HCL. Management is a bit scattered.
