It has its pros and cons, and it could be improved for the better.
Pros
- Some workmates are supportive and sweet. - Working on spreading good vibes. - CEO being easily reachable. - Diversity of clients, industries to work with, and even within your workmates' experience. - Great scope, really opens up your experience and makes you know a thing or two about various businesses.
Cons
- While it's a new system (for me), it's kind of exhausting to have to go through many accounts and that you can never really feel settled in where you are as someone handling a client (in another meaning, one day you're handling a client and another day you're handling another, which gets exhausting) - Some managers have an attitude, and while I understand how confrontational & "assertive" a manager should be, it doesn't always mean anything bad, but it's not a good look on the "wholesome good vibes" narrative they're pushing - Sometimes that cutesy narrative feels ironic and forced (which is understandable, typical corporate! Lol! Could be a me problem though) - Sometimes you just have to carry someone else's consequences for their action, especially if they're a manager. - Transportation weren't explained thoroughly and I was disappointed in the outcome. - Horrible onboarding, they just throw you into any account (bonus points if it's a harsh client which is perfect for a newbie, right?) - Insane workload, just pile you up with many things. You're always in a rush hour constantly in a draining way because you can never do enough. - Sometimes they just throw you in whatever client you need to be handling, and you can't really object until you're too deep in or until you actually prove to them that you can't handle the account *shrugs*. - Normalized Overtime, it's getting exhausting and too pretentious that you get - at some point- peer pressured into doing that as well; and no compensation for that for sure. - Sometimes the management isn't clear, about your policy, about your current status in any situation (probation, deployment, etc), and about your tasks. - Long time to assess you probation period and to simply let you know that you're officially in. - I'm more than half a year in, and I'm still not socially insured (btw this company has a full team that actually DOES socially insure our clients' employees!!! How ironic! - Terrible incentive ratings, how are you going to calculate my percentage based on issues that you know are out of my hands? I understand that some companies still do that, but HR is evolving to more than a title. - Always understaffed, hence why they're overloading everybody else. - You'd find your first day at a client's office alone, barely any physical guidance (unless there's a junior/senior workmate with you, they're the ones who would be giving you a solid handover
