      Pros

      N/A -As my first job, it can only be up from here.

      Cons

      Working at this company was one of the worst experiences of my life. -The management has no idea how to manage. -I was painfully underpaid. -During my 2 weeks notice, I was treated disrespectfully, lied to, and the group did everything to make my life miserable. -Do not trust anything that this company has to say; it's all fake. -Degrees should not be required for the positions based on the pay and efforts. -Please do not make the same mistake that I did, as taking this job, while desperately seeking employment outside of college. -Managers did not know how to do my job as an Associate 2. -I was banned from taking PTO due to having no back-up. -I was limited on my time away from my desk, with 5 minute breaks max - as I couldn't possibly miss 1 call from a client.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
