Horrible work culture, near zero growth opportunities
Pros
Generous PTO and benefits, most of my coworkers were easy to work with. Never had to work more than 40 hours a week.
Cons
Where to begin... Management needs better structure and more realistic expectations of when their workers can get things done on time. Constantly throwing tasks in our faces and expecting them sooner than possible while already knee deep in other projects is a recipe for disaster. There are no incentives to go above the bare minimum of work due to lack of bonuses or raises more than 2-3% a year for inflation. A real slap in the face. Lots of dumb rules at this office too. No eating at your desk or throwing TRASH in the TRASH can at your desk (apparently there's rodents...?). No recycling bins in sight either. During covid, we were remote for the first 3 months, but execs thought it would be better to come back to the office because it would "look good". Fast forward a few months later around the holidays and we're getting emails each week that someone in the building tested positive for covid. When one of the coldest winters Chicago had for a while came, and restaurants were closed, many employees resorted to eating in their cars since eating inside was not allowed. For a company that prides itself in sustainability and safety, it really falls short when it comes to the employees. Guess it only matters when profits are involved. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place as somewhere to grow your career. Unless its your first job and you need experience or are desperate because no one else is hiring, look elsewhere.
