Pros

Great professional relationships; very good conditions - legal, social. Good perspective for career growth. Professional attitude to work-life balance.

Cons

I think the salary is rather average or low, also the compensation policy could be more transparent. Although I was given a great perspective for growth, it is quite unsure with the present growth rate.

The worst job I've ever had

Pros

The only pro to working here is you are not living off unemployment.

Cons

The pay is outrageously low for the work load they expect you to do. The Burger King by my office was paying $2.00 more an hour than what my office was paying. The managers are completely unaware of the tasks they demand their employees and the person who assigns you and demands work from you is not who is listed as your manager. The employee morale is some of the lowest I've ever seen in my life. You are micromanaged and treated as a child as much as possible. Room for growth? Think again. Once my raise was 23 cents. CENTS. while the company pulled in millions and you are asked to work almost around the clock. Promotions are given on a twice a year basis yet are always given before you are reviewed. They are also done based on race. Each round the white and blacks would take turns getting promotions. You knew if a white person got a promotion last time then the next time it would be a black person and so on.

Pros

Good benefits and support of fellow employees. Allow employees to work from home after a time period of working in office.

Cons

The organization stresses the production and output of work despite the current workload of the employee.OFten had to work 10-12 hours days and every weekend. Very poor management with no qualifications or education; lack of confidentiality on your reviews to other fellow employees, little HR suppor
