What don't you like about working at FirstGroup America?

"Corporate payroll was a world of difference in attitudes, expectations, and management philosophies. Management is way over the top and unfriendly or helpfull. I can never work extra. Offered some small macros to speed up our excel processing and was yelled at for the offer. The company could be more lenient about their 9 month policy of one position before you can apply for another in certain situations. I'd stay if I could get back into IT"

"My direct supervisor says he doesnt know how to be a boss to he just repeats to me what the VP sends to him. I would tell my VP to get his manager into Management classes, and building teams classes. I'd also tell him to thinik for him self more, he told me He likes being a parrot"
