Lack of Empathy and Trust

Pros

There are quite a few good benefits.

Cons

Management at the Mexico office is disorganized and overly controlling, with little regard for the team’s well-being. Rules change constantly, communication is poor, and genuine support is lacking. Instead of fair treatment or competitive pay, we get snacks and dinner parties as a substitute for real recognition. Overall, it feels like employees are not truly valued.
