Pros
If you can quickly process information and jump right in on tasks you will learn a lot of information in a short amount of time which is a great resume builder. Many of your coworkers are amazing people who are incredibly smart.
Cons
- Management opinion of a full-time work week is 45-50 hours and overtime (>50 hours) is expected during the 3 to 4 month winter busy season. - There seemed to be different expectations for some employees than others, for example during a performance review, I was told that the expectation was that I should be a joy to work with and appear happier at all times. I was also told that my facial expressions made me seem unapproachable. - When I would try to give an opinion based on information I was processing, I was told repeatedly that management believes my department deals with decisions and does not make decisions. Which is very atypical of the department at other companies and made me feel we were undervalued. - Teams are consistently understaffed due to high turnover and lack of hiring. - Almost every employee who leaves this company will do so on bad terms. People are consistently burned out or pushed out. - Management has historically made decisions that show a lack of appreciation for hard work such as: demoting an employee, hiring a new boss without any warning for a department, lowering the salary of an employee and/or hiring a replacement behind an employee's back. - It is expected for employees to publicly call out their co-workers in group chats and management will do the same even when a private conversation would be more appropriate. Keep in mind this is an open office environment, so you are calling out someone who sits 3 feet away from you. Overall, this company is toxic and communication is not open, honest or respectful. If you choose to work here then get in, learn as much as possible and get out after a year.
