Pros

Decent employee benefits, health, vision, dental.

Cons

Told management I was having trouble focusing one week (what I now know to be a symptom of depression which I have taken medication for off and on over the course of my adult life) they brushed this aside and told me everyone deals with that and I need to just basically suck it up. I had 99.9% perfect attendance over 2 and a half years, worked off the clock when asked to, covered shifts for other absent employees, helped out whenever asked even folks outside of our department or at an entirely different account, and was still treated like a delinquent employee. Never did anything ethically or morally wrong or against company policy. I have made mistakes, yes, but I am only human. Deliberately kept out of the loop on goings-ons of my department and then this was held against me. There was an individual who had allegations of sexual misconduct brought up against them who was given more consideration than me (politely asked to resign whereas I was terminated). Worked under borderline abusive treatment from management (had multiple individuals come forward expressing concern on my behalf for the way I was being spoken to.) Was too afraid to report out of fear of making my life even more difficult. Then HR turned on me and told me they had received no such complaints (bald-faced lie). Very poor communication all around. Inconsistent and double standards in disciplinary actions. I would be written up for things I'd witnessed others do. I would be blamed for mistakes of the department even when it was due to things beyond my control.

Cons

Do you love being on conference calls all day? Do you love being devalued as a human and being taken advantage of? Do you love working 70+ hours a week and being made to feel like you didn’t do enough? Do you love having your job threatened daily as “motivation”? Do you love the phrase “because I’m your boss that’s why”? Do you love promises never delivered? Do you love bosses that love to make your life painful? If all of this applies to you then this job is for you.
