Not fooling anyone

Pros

Very dedicated and intelligent co-workers, exciting industry, decent pay, a place where you can still make a nice career starting from the bottom.

Cons

Corporate values (narrow, antiquated definition of the bottom line), short sighted leadership, incredibly understaffed, too conservative, employees are not seen as assets, leadership thinks that no one can tell that they fein interest in things other than maximizing roi (sustainability, diversity, corporate culture) but they aren't fooling anyone

Depressing place to work

Pros

Interesting industry. Generally easy working hours.

Cons

Incredibly poor culture. 100% focus on bottom line. Very challenging and changing industry which is making it increasingly hard to make money. Some very short sighted executives, many who have no place in their roles.

Pros

I loved the employees! Everyone was friendly and willing to help

Cons

When you are starting at this company, they expect you to devote every waking minute to them. Long hours. Over worked and under appreciated. When new employees have had to.dedicate so many hours for work and do so as told you would think that the company would appreciate that and realise that you are human and do have obligations outside of work and try to be as understanding and accommodating as the new employees have been to working so many hours over the regular 40 without question. No compassion or understanding that sometimes we need them to be as devoted as we have been when things come up outside of work and outside of the employees control. We were expected to jump when they said jump and work how ever many hours they made mandatory without question or fail. We had to do or we didn't have a job. But when the employee needed the company to give a little extra back to assist them through their needs outside of work, it was absolutely not understood or excepted.....even though we were required to jump through hoops to be and do for them.......just very one sided. You devote your life to them but they devote nothing I. Return for their employees and their needs outside of work
