Pros
I have incredible coworkers that I look forward to seeing everyday Casual, laid-back atmosphere Lots of contests, parties, raffles and more for employees Great benefits Flexible schedules Great location Senior management makes an effort to get to know everyone Most of the people in the company are very friendly
Cons
Management seems out of touch with employees Pay is significantly lower than what other companies offer for the same position Management has little to no knowledge about the jobs their employees do Communication from management to employees is nonexistent or ambiguous at best Questions and concerns addressed to management go unanswered Management often leaves employees feeling intimidated Management has encouraged employees not to report HR problems, saying it is in the employee's best interest, professionally, not to do so General feeling that my department is considered not important to the company, and that the employees therein are expendable Little to no acknowledgment for a job well done Receive more attention, praise, etc from management from other departments than from my own Ambiguous chain of command/ confusing heirarchy organization, including a constant shifting of managers and departments Employees are often shifted about to different desks/rooms, and in some cases are told it is to keep them from getting too comfortable Management undermining each other's directions, leaving employees confused More responsibility is often given without compensation Overtime expectations can become unreasonable during busy times of the year Management often makes changes to jobs, departments, etc, even when employees directly inform them that it will be detrimental to work and team morale, such as splitting up teams that work well together, simply to "get them out of their comfort zone" Upper management seems to jump from idea to idea with little follow through Employees are given no bigger discount than what is available to the general public
