Company Hanging In by a Thread

Senior accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lot’s of employee benefits from health, travel, monthly work from home, summer hours, unlimited snacks, juice, coffee and soda

Cons

This company would not be for only Jurassic Park so all the money goes there. Otherwise they are only hanging on with their classics, worst themed park ever and on small unsuccessful branches. 70/80% of the workforce are contractors. There are 7-10 divisions with alternating LAYOFFS -beware. The people that disappear are ethnics, over 40, and the unattractive. Managers have a field day with contractors - lots of sexual harassment going on but contractors have no rights and are expendable. If you get hired the manager must be a related to upper upper management, best friend or love interest. Welcome to a boys club! Women are paid less 10K in staff jobs and in entertainment the gap is easy $10MM-$15MM. Look at the numbers! Serious sex discrimination going on here.

Pros

Sorry, none come to mind.

Cons

You will be used, abused and paid as little as they can offer you for a short period of time when they will replace you with someone cheaper and less qualified!

Pros

They have decent salary and benefits.

Cons

Unhealthy work environment. Very corporate. HR is only there to serve the company and is very incompetent. Huge expectations from employees for not much in return.
