Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone below management-level was nice (except for the other guy working in the mailroom) Pay was decent, though clearly low-balled.

Cons

Incompetent management, outdated practices/equipment, god awful workplace culture which not only fosters but encourages racism, sexism, and toxicity. P.S. if you work in the mail room, you’ll likely be bullied/harassed out.
