Pros

I loved my job and my coworkers, and the company's health benefits were outstanding. Leaving wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one.

Cons

I had a toxic manager who micromanaged everything—checking time reports, tracking lunch breaks, and monitoring every minute away from your desk. They often sent multiple emails to communicate a single point because they struggled to communicate clearly. High-visibility projects were consistently given to favorites, while the rest of the team was overlooked. They were also frequently condescending in team huddles and meetings. Based on my experience, they were never taught how to lead people effectively, and I'm genuinely surprised they're still in a management role.

Pros

Good benefits and PTO to minimize the terrible environment

Cons

The organization suffered from consistently poor management, marked by unclear direction, inconsistent expectations, and a lack of accountability. Transparency was minimal—key decisions were made without context, and information was routinely withheld from the people doing the actual work. Favoritism was a persistent issue, with certain individuals receiving visibility and access to leadership while those contributing the most were excluded from important meetings, allowing others to take credit for their efforts. The work environment was further undermined by passive‑aggressive communication patterns that discouraged open dialogue and created unnecessary tension. Additionally, there were instances of harassment from one of the executives, which contributed to an unsafe and unprofessional atmosphere.
