Pros

You’ll be able to build your alcohol tolerance (trust me you’ll need it).

Cons

Where do I begin? The job, the position, the role that you applied for. Hate to break it to you, your job description will not be what you actually do. What you signed onto isn’t what you actually do. You’ll most likely need to take on additional roles that you never knew were a part of the job. Your responsibilities will include making your highest superior look good. This said superior will probably bite off more than what they can chew. You’ll always feel like you’re under surveillance, because you are being watched (oh hello there stompers of the office, you’re not as sneaky as you think). It’s fine to have a healthy amount of competition, but here, it’s toxic. There’s no such thing as collaboration. However, there is such thing as stealing work. Oh, and I cannot forget to mention the lying. People will put words into your mouth and throw you under the bus just to look good for 5 minutes. Also, do a great job or have some amazing feat? Your compensation won’t reflect it. You’ll be underpaid and overworked. Don’t expect to get an amazing raise either. Your hard earned revenue will support failing projects and line the pockets of those with power. If you’re looking for some office culture, you’ve come to the wrong place. It’s completely non-existent here unless you consider bullying a culture. You will find catty management employees who are way over their heads in terms of their capabilities. They really are inept at adjusting to new processes and learning anything new. Can someone say, “Drain the swamp!” Please? If mistakes are made, management will never own up to their mistakes. Fingers will be pointed at you, your mother, and everybody under the sun. Lest we forget, they also won’t be able to fix anything in a timely manner. But we must mention, your success will never be recognized, so I hope you’re ready to let the head take all the glory. (Just remember, don’t fail, because while the wins are theirs, the fails are yours) Instead of all the perks they tout, you’ll be rewarded with passive aggressive comments every day about your attendance. Be prepared to be singled out for anything and everything. The organization is run by a charismatic, but inexperienced fellow who indulges in the art of being unprofessional. Now a quick analogy, if the Queen of the U.K. can just be a figurehead and carry out the duties she’s supposed to, you’d think that the CEO would follow suite. However, be prepared for another surprise... he’ll always inadvertently screw up your project because of his psychopathic tendencies and narcissism. This company only thinks short term, there’s no such thing as long term solution or planning here. So much goes on behind the scenes that is quite reminiscent of other relevant issues. Count yourself most likely an unknowing participant. And no one will ever know...... Still up for the challenge?

Pros

The employees are genuinely kind, hardworking, and supportive of one another. Many people care deeply about the mission and do their best despite many limitations. Benefits package is decent.

Cons

Leadership decisions are disconnected from the day-to-day realities employees face. Communication from management lacks transparency, and creates uncertainty around priorities and long-term direction. Compensation falls far below market rates for similar roles, and raises are practically non-existent. Staff turnover is very high, which puts additional strain on remaining employees and contributes to burnout.
