Disappointing Work Environment for Hourly Employees
Pros
Working near Wrigley Field can be a lively environment. The two leaders in HR are very knowledgeable and do offer support. The office and staff are very friendly.
Cons
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company, especially for those in hourly roles. There's a noticeable divide between hourly staff and management, leading to a lack of fairness and respect for employees at the lower levels. This may not be at direct fault of the managers and leaders within the office, but it is a noticeable unbalance. The pay is low for the amount of work expected, and there are very few opportunities for advancement. While management enjoys large holiday parties and new equipment, there’s barely a budget for the essentials like office supplies, and hourly employees are often left out of these perks. Micromanagement from one manager was a big issue for myself and others. Regularly assign tasks that seem like work they don’t want to handle themselves, which feels frustrating and demoralizing. Additionally, there’s little flexibility in the schedule, which makes it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The turnover at the coordinator level is extremely high, and it’s easy to see why. The work environment is simply not conducive to long-term job satisfaction.
