Misleading lip service during training

Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are okay, met some cool people and referral bonus is great

Cons

Too much work for pay. Everything that’s said to you in training is a lie. They don’t take employee concerns seriously, when you’re new you can’t take time off because it’s approved by seniority. Their “reasonable accommodations” policy is a load of garbage because they don’t make accommodations for anything or anyone. They take advantage of good employees and overwork them. I’ve seen too many people come and go over the last few months. Senior “leadership” has their own agenda and doesn’t listen to anyone on the frontline even though they claim to be employee centric.

Pros

- Great culture from the top down - Endless opportunities and growth potential - Fair compensation and benefits - Completely remote, flexible work schedule

Cons

As I mentioned, the company is growing rapidly. It brings on a lot of opportunities from professional growth, but can be stressful and work can eat into evenings/weekends.
