Pros

Good pay and coworkers will cheer you on for going elsewhere

Cons

If you enjoy working with personalities that will remind you of the mean girls in middle school, this place is for you! No one is helpful, but will immediately call you out if you make a mistake. Be prepared to be name called, doors slammed in your face, and never have an opportunity to grow. Upper management behave like children (if they ever show up) There is no communication which makes for a flawed work process, and don’t ask for more training or guidance because you either won’t get it or you will be gaslit for not knowing already. God help the good people who are there because they will get the brunt of it. Finally, god forbid you ever take a day for yourself because it’ll be held against you. I could go on and on, but this place is as toxic as it can possibly get.

Pros

Your colleagues. The one place where your colleagues support and encourage you in leaving in finding something better than this deranged toxic environment. People would send each other job openings and were open to connecting each other to other outside colleagues in search of leaving the company.

Cons

Nepotism, toxicity, out of touch, ego driven and Stockholm Syndrome are main themes. Employees work so hard where people are doing five jobs going unappreciated. Upper management exponentially hire top heavy without giving recognition to the ones that carry the workload on their shoulders. No accountability is given and blame is the name of the game. During pandemic, employees were forced to come in full time every day, and if not, were told bothered to not come in and that we should be grateful we have a job (this was including mothers who were uncomfortable in finding childcare in the middle of the pandemic). From a business perspective, there is no strategy, reactionary and emotional done without thought or logical thinking.
