Pros

The only real benefit of working here is the insight you gain into how a poorly run organization operates. It can serve as a learning experience in resilience and problem solving, simply because you're forced to navigate disorganization and inefficiency on a regular basis. For some, it may also offer a chance to develop patience and adaptability under pressure, although that comes more from necessity than intention.

Cons

The cons are extensive and deeply rooted in the company’s structure and culture. Systems are outdated, disorganized, and make basic tasks unnecessarily difficult. Payroll and HR frequently make errors and give conflicting information, leaving employees frustrated and unsupported. Raises are limited to small cost of living adjustments, while upper management continues to expand with high paying roles often filled through nepotism rather than qualifications. Leadership is largely disconnected, accountability is nonexistent, and morale is consistently low. There is no support for professional growth, no recognition for hard work, and no genuine investment in employee wellbeing.
