Pros

- The pay for the PA role was decent. - Starting equipment was provided, including a laptop (MacBook) - One of the best interview processes I've ever experienced. I finished each interview feeling empowered and confident thanks to the interviewers skill at pulling out and highlighting the strengths I demonstrated in each response. The time between interviews was very short, and there wasn't a "project" portion, which while useful, can sometimes stretch out the application process.

Cons

- Training was a bit too short too for me to feel properly equipped for the role. - The trainer was very abrasive and inflexible. Refused to adjust to the learning style of the students and instead pushed forward with their lesson plan. When accommodations were requested, I was met with a response of, in essence, "this is a fast paced role, if you can't adjust, it might not be for you". - When I spoke with management about the training difficulties I was having, I was immediately treated as if it was my fault. ( Not pointing fingers - I just typically expect neutrality from leadership until all the information is gathered) - I saw very few BlPOCs during the meetings, and the few I did meet seemed to only be present in entry level, customer facing roles. I don't understand why the diversity score for this company isn't lower.
