Pros

• Decent initial onboarding process. • Opportunities to gain specialized knowledge if you can navigate the toxic culture. • Some team members are hardworking and supportive despite the environment.

Cons

1. Micromanagement and Marginalization: Leadership routinely diminishes employee roles and responsibilities without justification, stripping staff of meaningful work and opportunities to contribute. 2. Hostile and Dismissive Culture: Concerns brought to management or HR are either ignored or met with dismissive responses, leaving employees feeling undervalued and isolated. 3. Lack of Accountability: There is a pervasive lack of feedback and direction from leadership, even when roles or policies change. Employees are left to fend for themselves while being scrutinized unfairly. 4. Discrimination and Retaliation: The company fails to provide equitable treatment to employees who fall under protected classes. Documented instances of marginalization and exclusion have gone unaddressed, and attempts to voice concerns often result in retaliation or further diminishing of responsibilities. 5. Inconsistent Policies: Management exhibits favoritism and double standards in applying policies, leading to confusion and resentment among staff. 6. Inadequate Work-Life Balance: Employees are not supported in balancing personal obligations, even when legally protected (e.g., lactation breaks, ADA accommodations).

Pros

The pace is very fast. It was similiar to what I had done at previous jobs.

Cons

Manhattan Life did not give me enough accrued time off to go to all of my doctor appointments. I had cancer and they would not make an exception because I had been employed there less than 1 year.
