Pros

If it can be counted under pros: working from home

Cons

Colleagues are intentionally trying to find mistakes and report you, no teamwork and collaboration. That was my very first time experiencing toxic office environment including micromanagement. From the first day I’d been hearing criticism of others from my manager.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
