Pros

There aren’t really any pros.

Cons

The pay is very low compared to similar roles elsewhere, and it’s getting harder to justify staying. People are stretched thin, constantly covering gaps, and burnout is common. There are barely any resources. You’re expected to do everything, figure everything out on your own, and somehow still deliver at a high level. There’s no clear direction, but expectations are high and constantly shifting. There’s also very little flexibility, even when the work could easily allow for it. Growth opportunities are limited, and hard work often goes unnoticed. It feels like no matter how much extra you put in, there’s little recognition or meaningful support to help you move forward. Management is a big part of the problem. The culture feels toxic and disconnected. Decisions are made without input from staff, and concerns raised by employees don’t seem to go anywhere. Turnover is high, and it’s not a coincidence. People leave because they’re exhausted, underpaid, and feel unsupported.

Pros

Compensation: The pay was actually good, but it doesn't make up for the other significant downsides

Cons

This is about their Finance Department **Management Style**: Stuck in the past, refuses to adopt new technology. Everything is painfully manual and paperwork-heavy. **Workplace Culture**: Expect a high school-like environment. Bullying is common, and management turns a blind eye. **Transparency Issues**: Get ready for a lot of smooth talking. Management consistently lies and misrepresents situations to cover flaws. **Professional Growth**: Non-existent. Working here won't do anything for your resume or career development. **Overall Wellbeing**: Seriously, stay away. The job will take a toll on your mental health and leave you regretting the experience.
