Pros

Working with the individuals is obviously going to be both challenging and rewarding. Great training structure.

Cons

PA Day Program. Managers don't know how to be good leaders. Fear-based culture with no meaningful incentives and very low pay. Constant focus on what employees are doing wrong, ignore what they do right. The same 1 or 2 people constantly win awards for playing office politics games and making themselves look good, while others do all the work. Contradictory, arbitrary rulings from managers. They play favorites a lot. Everything is politics based. New ideas are met with blank stares and silence- no support. No wonder they have high turnover rates, anyone who cares enough to want to make things better will feel their soul being drained every day.

Pros

The individuals, thats all. Don't come here! Stay away, far away!

Cons

EVERYTHING! I have worked a ton of DSP jobs where dsp aren't treated like the cream of the crop but this one truly takes the cake. This place is so corrupt and absolutely horrible to its dsp. Management is lazy, dont care, backstabbers HR is there to protect the company, not the employees. If you have a coworker who is constantly trying to get you fired, and you go to hr thinking they with step in and promote conflict resolution? Forget it, they make the situation worse. I worked here for 12 years and recently resigned due to witnessing and being treated like a modern day slave. The mental stress of it all isnt worst it. I feel such relief now that im no longer working for such toxic people. These.people are inhuman but they shall one day, reap what they have sow. Every dog has its day, that's for sure. If you could count the overtime as a pro then fine but by the time u go through so much to get it, who wpuld even want it? No one. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. The money isnt worth it. Id rather make less money but be happy.
