Pros

I can’t really think of any other than salary was good.

Cons

My previous employer was acquired by FCB and within a month I noticed a negative change in the trajectory. Incoming execs did not prioritize open door policy or process improvement, work load was raised and the teams became smaller because they found the smallest reasons to fire people. The overall culture was a 180 from CIT Rail and it was FCB that rolled out a Return To Office policy. I love going to the office but I was the only one there most days. It was all dependent on your manager and mine seemed to think it was a good idea for me to take a train downtown 3x a week instead of working 100% remotely like my entire team was allowed to do. I never received clean responses to some similar questions. It was dependent of your relationship with your boss essentially. Mine was a fan of me and I hope I never work with anyone like her in any capacity esp a manager. Communication within my team was not a priority for our boss, I felt like we were planets orbiting around the same sun, being her, and any type of collaborative efforts or communication regarding internal issues were not encouraged. Questions of any kind were frowned upon and worked against me so I felt restricted in expanding my skill.

Pros

Even though I was only working part-time hours, the pay was very fair. They also offered great benefits. I enjoyed working with my coworkers, but the branch manager at the location I was working at was very unprofessional and gossiped about employees all day. Even threw things at employees and customers. Due to this and other things, this branch is unable to keep new hires. I believe it would have been a great company to stay with and build a career, had it none been for these issues.

Cons

Unprofessional upper management, hostile work environment at this specific branch location
