      Not allowed to work from home - why? This is 2019. Leadership team alignment at times is off or direction changes quickly.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When I started in 2017 my manager was wonderful, they pushed me to learn and take on work. They made sure I was happy in my position and encouraged me to apply for internal position for growth. They where lucky and moved into a new role while the position I had asked for (Admin Assist) was given to a temp I trained. They took away my manager position leaving me no option for growth. I got a new manager that did not care about me, even in my 1 year review that was 4 months late they said I am a self started and can handle the position without any supervision. I pushed for some help as our department was hard to manage with 1 person. They hired someone and moved the Admin Assist duties to our role with no pay raise, no new title. I asked if I would be considered for a new admin role and that conversation was shut down. I was fired for no justice cause because I was unhappy that I put in more then 2 years worth of work only to get a manager that didn't care about me, didn't push me to be my best or even care that I was on their team. I wasn't recognized for my 2 year anniversary when another employee on my team was recognized for there 3 years 1 week before mine. Just shows that management doesn't care about the people on their team, they pick and choice who they want to see grow.

      Cons

      HR is terrible, they are too scared to talk to people about the major issues in the office and expect you to confront employees yourself. Office is dog friend which is awesome, there was a few aggressive dogs that had been brought to HR with nothing to be done even though many employees have been bite or snapped at. No employee hand book or rules is a bit strange for an office of 250+ Office is not ventilated so the summers are blistering hot and the winters so cold that you wear your winter jacket and gloves inside. Office promotes in house grow which could be farther then the truth for a lot of roles. New SOP are put into place every week with no communication from the top down.
