Pros
Great camaraderie between coworkers, even globally. Very easy to gain skills that you can transfer to another career.
Cons
- Leadership was constantly changing. Numerous changes in organization while I was there that led to confusion up and down the chain. It seemed that no one knew what were the latest updates. - Uneasy atmosphere with a tilt towards toxic personalities. It was not uncommon for gossiping remarks to turn unprofessional. One-on-ones were frequently used as gossiping sessions. - Unclear dress code - leadership got away with being lax on the code, but employees were to strictly adhere to it. - Encouraged to open up and share about yourself, but keep in mind the above mentioned gossiping. It was not uncommon to have personal information shared without consent. - Incidences of management not being aware of legal accommodations, even going so far as to suggest removing accommodations. - Heavy pressure to come into the office despite being one of a few people in attendance. Even heavier pressure to attend optional events in lieu of working. - Mentorship and opportunities for learning are not there.
