Pros

- benefits - fun co workers who actually have personality - managers are cool when not under intense pressure - bonuses are cool - happy hours (cocktail mixers) - parties - free food - pay

Cons

- lack of communication - no work-life balance Honestly, they are fear mongers. They definitely don’t make you feel secure in your position. It’s so much unprofessionalism. Managers trying to have…. inappropriate relations with other managers or their staff. A manager told me it was okay to cheat on my husband. She showed up to our co-worker bonding events getting super drunk and being obnoxious. That was the first time I witnessed unprofessionalism. She also took me in the breastfeeding room to yell at me, cuss me out and scold me because I was sick and needed to go to the hospital/home. I guess she wanted to avoid the cameras. The hours are insane. You would start your shift with the morning sun and end with the moon. There aren’t many hours of PTO. They switched the policy of requesting PTO as well which made things SO much more complicated. Management talks to you like you’re crazy when they are under pressure. You can definitely tell they don’t care about your personal life. I told my manager I had a death in my family and the reply was “Mmhm, oh okay” WHAAAAT. They only care about metrics and whatever the heck else. ALSO the CEO is super cringe. He sent out a lot of emails during COVID forcing his vaccine beliefs on us, offering LARGE sums of money (10K) during raffles only for people who chose to be vaccinated and come back to office. Then they gave out food every day and about 1- 2K in amazon gifts every day to vaccinated staff while those who chose different for their lives were forced to read the pushy emails. Unvaxxed were also forced to attend a 3-hr zoom call with a panel who were all biased and provided only a pro-vaccine standpoint to push the CEO’s vaccine agenda. HOW UNETHICAL. You could tell they were getting ready to push people out because they started hiring vaxxed new people to our department/team. HAD to go and so glad I’ve done better. Protect your mental health. I was sick of management telling me to “push through my pain” when I knew I needed to go to the hospital as well, that right there made me cry all night.

Pros

Pay is good and benefits

Cons

they don't care about employees, they make it impossible to move up, high turn over rate and you don't need a degree for the type of work they ask of you ! I see why so many VCU and other surrounding college take their talents elsewhere after a few months of being there.
