Pros

Our shift was like a family and worked well together and looked out for each other. The actual job was pretty easygoing, simple, but fast-paced.

Cons

Management was always terrible, managers and supervisors put in place that should not be in those positions, they do not know anything about the actual job, regular employees have to train them. Once a new general manager took position the entire place completely went down hill. Machines never work properly and the new management is constantly micromanagement. Moral was very low, and there is no care for personal life, as working Saturdays and weekday overtime was very much required. Overall a horrible work environment and very unprofessional. As far as management goes, it's like my head was always spinning in every direction, with no real or proper goal.

Pros

- Generally, helpful co-workers. - Strong / iconic brands with dominant market positions. - Meta partnership / Smart Glasses is an exciting growth area. - Privilege of making incorrect business decisions that still yield positive outcomes.

Cons

- Low technology stack leading to many manual processes that are ripe for some level of automation. All work is basically conducted in Excel. - Company is extremely retrospective in its internal reporting versus focusing on predictive and prescriptive analyses that could be more value add. - Rank has its privilege mindset - Upper management lacks accountability for its decision making, putting the onus on lower level analysts to justify their business decisions which, many times, are made based on pre-conceived notions prior to any analytical rigor. - Similarly, many senior leaders can be abusive and outright disrespectful, which lead subordinates to take an "emperor has no clothes" philosophy when dealing with them. - Culture of fire drills with respect to assignments leading to unrealistic deadlines for critical work which compromises quality and completeness. - Company, many times, confuses tactics with strategy. - Poor communication with respect to all aspects of the business. Teams generally work in silos and crucial information is shared on a need to know basis.
