Pros

- Some of the people were nice - Immediate benefits upon hiring

Cons

I worked in an admin role here (CSA) and it was NOT what I thought I was getting into. The actual role varied immensely from what was mentioned in the job description, and I was always either absolutely overwhelmed or completely bored. The onboarding was non-existent, and speaking to other CSAs was not very helpful as everything varies based on what "team" you work with. Some of the people were nice and friendly, but there are a lot of corporate jerks here. People that won't speak to you because you're below them on the pay grade, a lot of yelling and shaming even when you follow instructions, and not a lot of clear guidelines. I was leery about taking this job initially (should have listened to the red flags going off) and it was a really bad experience. Conflicting instructions, everyone thinks they're top dog, no helpful feedback... If you're a young person interested in design, HR, finance, or admin, I'd recommend you take ANY job other than this. It's not worth the headache and anxiety.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
