Pros
Do you watch the show Downton Abbey? It's like that. As an employee, you are the downstairs serving staff. You have the greatest of friends, the company gives you a bit of food, and a tiny cubicle to live in. (Yes, you will LIVE in this cubicle. Before you apply, think about going into a tiny cubicle every day, staring at a computer screen, and talking on the phone for *2000 hours a year for a meager paycheck! Working here is solitary confinement, but with free chobani yogurt. If your eyes are ruined because of staring at a computer screen all day, you do have vision insurance. So, that is a pro. But, like, also a con.) *52 weeks x 40 hours a week
Cons
Continuing with this analogy... Your managers are royalty. They are not your friends. You are their servants. Bow your head and fall in line. If you question anything, they will simply hire another servant to replace you. Why do you think Houzz creates so many fake Glassdoor reviews? They have a huge recruiting team to trick future servants to apply. Believe it or not, Houzz Glassdoor reviews are more fake than the people who work here. My ex-manager was the most incompetent, unintelligent, irrational, feebleminded person I have ever met. With absolutely zero experience, she was promoted to a managerial role because of her big smile and affable personality. *Ex-manager, if you’re reading this, affable means friendly and easy to talk to! I am giving you a compliment, yay!* Sorry everyone else, she’s a little a slow. Now back to the review… After being in the role for a year, my ex-manager with no experience seemed like she still had zero experience. She asked my teammates and I for help with everything. She would ask other managers for help with the most simple tasks if she was too embarrassed to ask one of her servants. She knew nothing Jon Snow! Nothing! She had the memory and attention span of a goldfish, which is an insult to goldfish everywhere. If you think I am exaggerating, please apply, get the job, and infiltrate this office to see for yourself. Houzz promotes people based on how likable they are. Luckily for my ex-manager, Houzz urgently needed someone who could blindly follow orders and she was in the right place at the right time. Like being born into royalty on the show Downton Abbey ya know?
