Cons
-Middle management is some of the worst I've ever experienced -Depending on your department/manager - can be highly toxic/negative/micromanaged environment -They track everything you do - when you log on and off and minute details of your work/habits -Positive feedback is few and far between (again depending on your manager) - small mistakes are highlighted and blown out proportion (ie. a typo in an email) -Everything is highly transactional, from the way employees are treated, to clients, to council members - there is no feeling of "soul" behind what we're doing -Robotic/boring & monotonous work - you scroll Linked in and internal systems all day and click buttons -Always setting higher and higher expectations even if impossible to hit all of the metrics/KPIs they want you to -Got a feeling I was not a person working here, more like worker #3295592 -Lack of culture on the team level - disconnect between senior leadership culture & team level culture -Work life balance is nonexistent... even with WFH you have to tell everyone where you are if you step away to go to the bathroom or get a snack for 10 minutes -Similarly, being online and replying to clients during late hours/weekends is highly praised and highlighted among channels from team level to senior leadership -Threats & fear tactics come up if your metrics/KPIs are not up to muster -Negative & passive aggressive environment
