Pros

Good entry level job but only good for grads and interns. Move on to a better company.

Cons

It is not fun wasting so much personal time commuting to the office. The environment is very clique and forced. The CEO is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Inexperienced directors. Horrible office layout, who thought it would be a good idea to pack us all on top of each other? Pay is not competitive. They do not care about us or listen to us. No clear direction within departments. The only thing they care about is stuffing us into the office like a cog in their machine.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
