Pros

the people, I have some great friends there

Cons

-they don't look outside their own company or the people who have been there forever for new insite or ways of doing things...outsiders (anyone who hasn't been there for 10 years or more) have nothing to offer, even if it is a better way of doing business. -leaders don't have a clue what leadership is, and just because they know the business doesn't make them "business leaders". -did I mention is was run by a bunch of good ole boys who think they know it all and since they know it all no one else must have a clue. What they don't get is that if they were that great they would have the foundation to weather a storm, but the house is a coming down! the work week, the lack of work life balance, opportunities, training is a joke and the favoritism all make for a ulcer in the making.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
