Pros
Opportunity to learn: they are open to teaching you new systems/procedures
Cons
Gender Bias: Despite my qualifications, I noticed a clear bias against female candidates during the hiring process. Women were consistently overlooked for promotions and leadership roles.
Unequal Pay: Shockingly, female employees were paid significantly less than their male counterparts for the same work. This wage gap was not only unjust but also demoralizing.
Lack of Support: The company lacked proper support systems for working mothers. Maternity leave policies were inadequate, and returning mothers faced subtle discrimination.
Boys’ Club Culture: The office environment felt like an exclusive boys’ club. Male employees dominated decision-making, leaving little room for diverse perspectives.
Insensitive Remarks: I witnessed inappropriate comments and jokes that perpetuated gender stereotypes. Management turned a blind eye, fostering a toxic atmosphere.
