Love-hate relationship
Pros
The worklife balance is nice, Many of the people that work there are exceptionally talented and also exceptionally friendly and nice on a personal level. If you make friends with people quickly they will take you under your wing.
Cons
There don’t seem to be many standard operating procedures and often times you get conflicting instructions on tasks. Because of this there’s often confusion and finger-pointing. The Supposed managers often come at their employees in a very negative way And you always need to be on your toes and have your ducks in a row and your emails saved so that you can defend what you did or didn’t do. The micromanagement is off the chain except when it comes to the management. I had a direct supervisor who continually created errors in my documents so that they could point them out to their Supervisor. They got a mentor, a raise and a promotion. The second issue, Benefits. There doesn’t seem to be any set schedule or any way to find out how to be promoted or to get a raise and at your annual meeting you’ll be lucky if you get a $.10 raise. And they will think they’ve given you $1 million. And expect you to be very thankful for that. Thankfully I have other alternatives for healthcare but they benefits in that regard are also not very good. The deductibles are extremely high and the out-of-pocket is almost double what is reasonable. This is one of those companies where they will tell you that “we are family” And you get treated like the illegitimate son of a millionaire. If you like working from home and do not need insurance this is not a bad job.
