Pros

Good pay and good colleagues (non work related)

Cons

The company has developed a toxic culture of dumping workload on others and walk away without giving any heads-up or proper handover. A email out copying manager and directors and you have to own the problem without any warning. Perhaps this is how they have been treated and they do the same other people. This is common to new start where people will dump their workload on you when away on holiday but you have to work over holiday because of additional workload. As other mentioned no really any work life balance and senior management eg director above will have no idea how much workload you’re on. There are no career progression or goals. You possibly will be working the same job and title for the next 10-15 years.

Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
