Not a psychologically safe workplace

Pros

The illusion of abundance and gratitude internally.

Cons

My experience was that this was not a psychologically safe workplace. There was a noticeable culture of misogyny, with dismissive attitudes toward women and limited accountability around behavior. Communication often felt top-down rather than collaborative, and concerns were not always received with respect.
