Like all jobs, some positives, some negatives
Pros
If you’re in the union, benefits are amazing. The 401(k) matching is high. My most positive experiences were with my direct managers. They went above and beyond to be helpful, kind, understanding, and be a part of the team. They have a huge undertaking with a restaurant that is open from 7am-12am; they are extremely underpaid for all that they do. Additionally, CFO, you are a great person. You are genuine and a treasure.
Cons
There are a lot of unlivable wages being made at the WAC. There is very little job growth within the organization. I got a better job opportunity in a completely different field and was told by someone in upper management that I can always go back to restaurants on the weekends when I don’t make enough money. To that person, I’m just a body that works and should work 7 days a week, apparently. This person wasn't even trying to be rude, those were words of encouragement somehow. As an act of closure, I had requested an exit interview on two different occasions. No one from the several member HR team followed up on this. A large part of their job is to take suggestions, advice, and complaints, and they don’t seem to like doing that extremely important aspect of the position.
