Pros

My coworkers were great. We stuck together while trying to get out of the negative, toxic environment.

Cons

I have worked in a wide range of industries and organizations and this was by far my worst job experience. My manager was an extreme micromanager and actively tried to get me and some of my coworkers terminated. My workload was physically impossible to manage, to the point where I missed the last bus frequently because I has to work late. If I had to take a day off I was told I needed to have every email responded to and every project finished before I left or I would receive corrective action. The atmosphere was so negative and toxic that I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. It can be tempting to work for a large, prominent employer, and it may look good on a resume, but don't work here.
