Pros
-Some of the people that I met there were great. Steve was very friendly and good people. -The duties aren't hard.
Cons
- The position title does not match the duties of the position. - Constant pressure to work more (e.g. "If you're only working 40 hours, you're not really working."). There were passive-aggressive comments made by management whenever people would leave after working the time that was required of them. There were also guilt trips made by management like "I missed [insert family event here] because I was here working" and things of that nature. - Work-life balance is non-existent and you're looked down upon by leadership if that's what you're striving for. - There's no lateral or upward movement within the company. If you mention wanting to move from the role you were hired into, you'll get an "in any other job, you would be fired on the spot" lecture. - If you are placed into a "newly created support role," you are given no instructions as to how to perform in this new role. You are left without support or direction from leadership. If you decide to back out (and they have given the "no one will look down on you if you can't handle it and go back to your old role" spiel), you will not be considered for any other positions in the future because you "can't handle the pressure" or "you don't have what it takes." - There's no consistency within leadership in what is communicated to the team. - Training quality is sub-par and it's up to you to "figure it out" or you're thought of as unintelligent. - Employees have been dismissed for baseless fears of gossip and "negative energy" as well as "not having the skills needed for future projects" even though they were Excel certified. - Employees are chastised any time they try to talk to each other, even when it's about work. Then leadership complains that the atmosphere is tense and wonders why it's so quiet. - Your performance doesn't matter as much as the outward appearance of performance. Quantity over quality. - Leadership does not take criticism, even constructive criticism, well. Any critiques made of the process or the supposed "culture" or suggestions for improvement are taken as personal attacks.
