Pros

Most of the people are nice. The work is usually easy. The expectations are really low making it a low stress job.

Cons

Management turnover is extremely high both from people leaving and people getting fired. It takes a really long time for empty management positions to be filled which leaves very little direction for employees and a state of organized chaos. HR is outsourced to corporate and getting individual attention and straight, honest answers to your questions requires an immense amount of effort. There is not a lot of focus on skill development. This is probably because corporate's only focus is on reaching a large financial goal (a goal they've been chasing for years). It leaves your career kind of stagnant unless you're extremely persistent about finding your own new opportunities. There is no opportunity for upward mobility. All management positions are filled from the outside. For that reason this company only acts as a stepping stone for most people. Layoffs have started taking with them some of the more senior employees - people who have worked here for years when the normal tenure seems to be 1-3 years - while many temps are keeping their jobs. It doesn't make much sense to eliminate the employees who know the most about how this company runs and the products and it makes you wonder who is next.

Pros

To provide a balanced perspective, one positive aspect was the company's willingness to offer flexible work arrangements.

Cons

I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the company culture before joining. In my experience, the work environment lacked the level of professionalism and collaborative leadership I expected. Leadership decisions at the senior level often appeared to be driven by personal viewpoints rather than objective discussion and open engagement. Employees who did not align with the preferred direction could experience resistance rather than constructive dialogue. The culture felt more aligned with a "my way or the highway" management style than a collaborative and inclusive approach. I also experienced situations where information communicated about my performance appeared inconsistent with my actual work contributions and outcomes. Rather than constructive feedback supported by objective metrics and open discussion, I felt there were instances where narratives surrounding performance were inaccurate or misrepresented. This created concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and the overall feedback process. The company has also faced regulatory challenges in the past, which may be worth researching independently as part of your due diligence process. My experience ultimately did not align with my expectations for leadership, transparency, and organizational culture.
