Pros

The company as a whole may have some, by my department was intentionally isolated.

Cons

I didn't know work environments could be this bad. Not only was I screamed and swore at personally, but bullying and mob-abuse is led and encouraged by the manager. Workers commonly watch distasteful videos including those with black people getting shot to death while accompanied by racist commentary by the viewers. There are no windows and contact with people outside the Black-Ops department is discouraged. The department runs with no oversight at all and the manager has complete control over everything. The manager will change his mind on core functionality and design daily and celebrate it as "flexible". After much grilling, he admitted this often has no basis in reason and is based on his feelings that day. As a designer, it was especially maddening that back-end developers with no design experience had complete veto power over any aesthetic decision I made. The boss is disrespectful, unorganized and completely unfit to be a manager. (He got this job by being a "yes man"). He has a bizarre obsession with controlling the team. He answers to no one and it shows.

•unreal expectations •very unorganized •undermining •expected to take blame if you don’t co workers get weird •you will be pulling your own orders every morning and taking orders last minute, then be blamed when delivery’s are late •paper work is constantly wrong, when you call to ask for help due to paperwork being incorrect your greeted with a sigh •mandatory email checks and required to respond to emails that have nothing to do with you or your job role, this often makes your day to day schedule even tighter along with the other issues mentioned •always rushed out the door •mandatory janitorial work •they can’t manage to maintain a driver for more than a few months so it’ll mostly be all on you •sometimes orders are pulled for you but a lot for he times it’s incorrect and you have to then spend time finding the right part •when pulling orders items are often in the wrong spots and your playing where’s Waldo which makes your schedule even tighter •
