Pros

You meet some good people that really just want to do their job.

Cons

No training, micromanaging on all aspects of the job. No room for innovation or ideas. Very qualified people have come and gone due to lack of structure. They will make this place look like rainbows and butterflies but once you sign on, the curtain drops. Overall, company does not value loyalty. Leadership team is non existent only when it comes time to “act” like a leader. HR does not care one bit about employees only those who pay HIM. They have fired people for personal reasons rather than being professionals and targeting the main people chasing problems, management. Management is very immature with the gossip around the office. Rather than get to the core of the problem they punish those who have complaints. If more than 4 people complain about their manager, it doesn’t mean you retaliate against the employee. Leadership is very out of touch with how their company is being run. If you have offers elsewhere, take it. This “FAM”ily is not it. Benefits are not that great. Parking sucks. Overall hostile work environment.

Pros

The salary pay was decent.

Cons

- Wasn't onboarded in any way both by HR regarding the company and company expectations as well as department and my specific role. - Everything is a priority and was due yesterday, they want you to be a machine and power through work in an unrealistic time turnaround. It didn't help that the lack of onboarding of processes resulted in learning through mistakes. -When saying that something couldn't be achieved in a specific parameter you're met with reprimand. - Leadership says they strive for individuals that want to promote and motivate change, but when suggested new processes they're denied, not even given thought. - On salary, so standard 8 hour shift, but then leadership micromanages your time when you leave, because you're not there when they need you despite fulfilling your shift. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE.
