Pros
1. Effective teamwork across all departments 2. Friendly/active colleagues 3. Innovative company - it was exciting to work for a company as it transitioned from start-up to IPO 4. Fun holiday/anniversary parties 5. Great learning experience
Cons
1.. Poor/Ineffective Management - directors/managers don't work with their employees to set them up for success; little to no performance feedback is provided outside of the annual review 2. Low Salaries - compensation does not match the expectations for most roles and pay increases are very rare. 3. High turnover rate - the company is quick to let employees go, rather than provide coaching 4. Lack of Communication & Follow Through - in regards to bonuses, promotions, pay increases, and training opportunites, I developed an "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude.
