Toxic work environment

Pros

The job can be fun under the right leadership.

Cons

They tend to protect toxic bosses and use unethical tactics to push people out. The pay is so low it almost feels exploitative. My experience is that profits are more important than the people that make their sales. Policy became a weapon instead of a tool to maintain order.
