Pros

1. Initial flexibility - Early on, management approved reasonable flexibility. 2. Opportunities to contribute to major projects; great learning opportunity.

Cons

1. Sudden reversals of previously approved accommodations 2. Inconsistent and unclear communication — I was repeatedly told concerns had existed “for months,” yet none were communicated initially. 3. Expectations changed frequently and without notice. 4. Micromanagement — Requirements such as block scheduling every task in Outlook. 5. Punitive break - I was told I would be limited to one bathroom break per day, which was communicated suddenly and without prior discussion. 6. Delayed feedback on alleged performance issues — It took three months for management to identify a performance concern, which was tied to shifting priorities that leadership itself directed. 7. Embarrassing or hostile interactions — Being told “don’t lie” during a check‑in, or being phoned loudly in a cubicle area about scheduling, created an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment. 8. Probationary period with no clear criteria — Despite meeting all expectations during the probationary period, it continued indefinitely with no explanation of what was required to exit it. 9. Lack of support for working parents — Schedule changes, limited notice, and inconsistent approvals made it extremely difficult to manage childcare responsibilities.

Pros

The pros of working in the department included decent benefits minus minimal vacation times. Other areas of the company seem decent for culture but not there.

Cons

The management of corporate E&S is dysfunctional at best and abusive in reality. After the novelty of being the new hire wears off, you will face malicious comments and gossip, no positive/constructive feedback, scapegoat blame, extreme micromanagement, constantly changing expectations, etc. There is no psychological safety. Management will not provide resources for career development, protected time off, or flexible arrangements. If you won't quiet quit they will turn up the heat until they have to fire you. I watched others around me stop eating or sleeping and when I tried to talk about how I myself was feeling, a flyer for therapy was placed on my desk in response. So much love was shown to me by the staff at other facilities. Someone even expressed to me "out of everyone in corp E&S, you were the one that listened".
