Pros

Benefits, pay, and the nicer people in other units.

Cons

Coworkers are rude and condescending to new employees; Coworkers love to make new recruits look bad by publicly and in front of upper management pointing out their errors and shifting blame. Coworkers are tattle tellers and will make every effort to make you look bad in order to be praised by management. Coworkers who were training were very micromanaging, rude, unprofessional, impolite, and condescending making it difficult to learn concepts quick and making it hard to ask questions without facing disrespect and animosity. Coworkers even withhold information from new recruits and upper management blames new recruits instead of checking how their permanent employees treat new employees. The supervisor is a gaslighted, fire starter and blame shifter. Expects new employees to learn the ropes faster as if the new employee was 30 years into this job. Management doesn’t listen to the complaints of employees regarding rude coworkers. Management turns a blind and deaf ear to the permanent employee chastisement of new employees but sides with permanent employees over maltreatment of recruits and even punishes new recruits when they stand up for themselves. Supervisor is a hypocrite by telling employees to act professionally when they themselves can’t manage their own behavior. Supervisor keeps putting employees down and doesn’t offer any words of encouragement or support to help employees become successful. Supervisor holds grudges against employee (especially new employees) who make minor mistakes that are easily fixable. Supervisor made me doubt my intelligence, doubt my credibility, forced me to give yes or no answers instead o clarification, continues to shift blame on me when some situations if not all of them were not my fault (especially when I know I did the best I could and used all my resources I could use); Management has unrealistic and hard to meet expectations that causes one to feel like their work is not good enough and it’s never enough! I lost complete trust from my permanent coworkers and supervisor because of this hostile work environment and they demand me to trust them which can never be mended!!
