Pros

Friendly atmosphere, great coworkers, positive attitude from leadership, company tries hard to be a good employer

Cons

Favorites advance at astonishing rates, often without time to prove value or competence in roles. (2 new roles in a year) Everyone else is pretty much ignored or taken for granted. No career path or counseling on how to achieve next level. Lots of long term employees who form an impenetrable old guard network and who make a lot of poor decisions. This creates an odd organizational structure in some areas as senior jobs are created for favorites.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
