Pros

- Flexibility to work from home - Lots of training opportunities - Managers are approachable - Coworkers are friendly and easy to work with

Cons

- You're expected to know EVERYTHING despite not being told anything. - The harder you work, the more work they put on you while other members coast by. You're expected to pick up the slack when other team members can't fufill their job description. Instead of managers confronting those team members who are not trying, they expect others who have given 110% since Day 1 to fix it. You are viewed as a "workhorse"/"machine" as one of my managers said. - Along with that, managers are afraid of "calling members out" when they are failing to meet standards. Instead they send out mass emails to the whole team and everyone gets all paranoid (even the ones that work hard) that they are doing something wrong. - When you are first hired, they tell you if you put in the work, you will move out the department around the 1 year mark. I am considered a top performer in my role and I've been here around 2 years. They are very reluctant to let you go if you work hard enough for 2 people.

Pros

My team and the connections I've made, their support and strong team effort.

Cons

Had 3 managers in first year. Lack of communication and leadership. Pay is substantially lower than competition. No Work/Life balance - all work! HR was ineffective, and slow to respond to issues and questions. Management only sees dollar signs and are quick to make judgements regarding employee's work, have unreal expectations, show no compassion, and put people in boxes... giving no feeling of belonging. The workforce development platform is outdated and there is a lack of connection with sales and product teams to discuss what client's urgently need. HSTM cannot keep up.
