Pros

There is nothing positive to hold onto. Being misled from the start erased any chance of a good impression, and no part of this experience stands out in a good way.

Cons

Leadership is deeply dishonest and completely untrustworthy. False promises about pay and future increases were used as bait, only to trap me into long, exhausting hours for wages that felt insulting. The truth became clear when I discovered that newer and less experienced staff were earning more. That moment exposed just how little respect existed, and it made staying feel impossible. I walked out because continuing would have meant accepting blatant unfairness.

Pros

Great teammates, great boss, flexible with hours (these may just be within my team, specifically). The team and the company has a clear vision on where they want to go. There are semi-annual bonuses, comprised of cash and stock. I have yet to sell any stock, and so far it has grown in value.

Cons

Promotion was slow in coming, but there were salary increases in between. Bonuses were hard-earned, but no goal was impossible to reach.

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
