Learned a lot here, but would not stay for long

Business Outlook

Pros

I learned a lot of different things here and had broad responsibilities. Picked up several different skills that could be useful in other fields. Learned to avoid office politics.

Cons

Working long hours everyday without weekends for busy seasons, which are very frequent and long throughout the year. Not conducive for a healthy work/life balance. Supervisor is disorganized and does not train effectively, leaving workers to figure out most tasks on their own. There is also too much office politics that create a toxic work environment.
