Poor Working Environment and Culture

Pros

Offers remote work, many lines of business to apply to

Cons

The culture is very much based on title. If you don’t have “manager” or “director” in your title, you’re not shown much respect. I’ve never worked with such rude people, who only seem to be able to demand things instead of asking or even addressing me with, “hello,” or “ good morning.” A lot of the employees also seem to be incapable of learning how to do things themselves, even after being shown repeatedly. If there’s someone else who can do it, why would they bother? I couldn’t tell if they were really that unintelligent, or were just lazy. If it’s the former…you let these people be in control of your finances and revenue? Yikes. I did many things that were not part of my job description, and I was sold a different role than what I actually ended up doing. There’s no mentorship or active career development programs, people only seem to get promoted or get raises if they threaten to quit or are best friends with their manager. I wasted years of my career not learning anything useful or transferable to another job. Manager was a pushover, any complaints from staff weren’t handled or were given to someone else to deal with. I don’t think they like people who stand up for themselves or have a sense of morality and justice.

Pros

My co-workers are great. It's an awesome starting point in your career

Cons

Leadership is not worried about your growth, pay, or anything outside of having you counted in the numbers for them to get more out of your working hard. HR is the worst.
