Pros
-There was a great and passionate group of junior staff working there for a long time, but they have all found better opportunities now -You will have to learn how to manage multiple projects at once because they are so understaffed you will be expected to do everything -You will learn how to manage up, as your manager will most likely quit soon after you are hired, and you will be expected to fill a bigger role with no compensation increase -You will have a lot to talk about in your next interviews because you will be part of every project's process from start to finish -You will learn to understand your personal work-life balance needs/boundaries, but only as they are consistently broken and ignored.
Cons
-Lack of organization means you will spend more time trying to find past information than being able to make progress -Your job description means nothing, once you are on board anything is fair game -No strategic plan or set goals, however you will be reprimanded for not reaching the imaginary goals that were supposedly there all along -Consistently set up for failure, whether by upper management deciding not to do projects last minute you put a lot of time/hard work into or giving you impossible tasks to begin with -"Family-oriented workplace" is a term tossed around to help cover the toxic and hostile environment that upper management creates. The longer you work there, the meaner they become. The first few months are a honeymoon phase that will not last.
