Overall a dissatisfying experience

Pros

The only positives are the food, vacation time and that it's pet friendly.

Cons

Where do I begin here? The first thing would be the environment, this workplace is the most quiet and introverted area you have ever seen. The people here are unfriendly and rude especially the management. They give you no room to grow and seem to have no trust in you. Overall it's a toxic work environment here and also the compensation is very poor.

Acumen Response

Sorry to hear you felt this way while you were here. We hope you reached out to HR or Recruiting, we have a great internal recruiting process and could have placed you on a different team. Best of luck!
