Pros
In my branch, everyone is allowed to get up from their desks and chitchat without being reprimanded, and most people spend the day listening to music or podcasts which allows you to at least dissociate from the menial data entry work.
Cons
This company is conservative to its core, politically and socially. If you’re not straight and white, you’re regarded with suspicion and left out of professional and social opportunities. They won’t fire you, but they’ll make your working life a living hell until you decide to pursue other opportunities. The hierarchical structure of the company is ludicrously backwards. Management walks around expecting others to smell their farts, and never have I seen a genuine smile or thank you from anyone above supervisor level. The denigration is most apparent when the managers decide to have an impromptu meeting in the middle of the floor to discuss which workers are performing more poorly than others. I never thought I would work in such a culture. I took the job for the excellent health insurance despite the low wage. I plan on learning what I can about the trade and switching companies as soon as I get my check ups!
