International business exposure; good career opportunites; generally excellent professional staff; strong teamwork ethic.

Medium term strategy is unclear after company went private in 2013 for second time. Sense of uncertainty increased after significant restructuring. Few in corporate staff seem to fully understand the global business.

Pros

- Standard 6% dollar for dollar 401k match - PTO okay - Management overworked but tolerable - This position should be a good stepping stone into a better job

Cons

- Work day is 8-5 and you only get paid for those hours but it’s expected that you stay later than that nearly every day to help others finish - Promised certain holidays off before accepting the job offer. Later found out that actually wasn’t true. - Weekend work required (you don’t get paid for the overtime, or at all for it) - Very disorganized. Almost everything is still done by hand/on paper. Systems are VERY dated. - Discriminatory work setting. Coworkers openly and loudly have racist and hateful conversations. Very inappropriate crude/sexual conversations happen frequently. - Expected to learn every other role in addition to your actual job title so you can take over someone else’s job if they’re out (you don’t get paid additional for the increasing expectations) - Health insurance is HORRENDOUS - Pay is VERY low for the variety of roles you’re expected to do, and much lower than the industry standard for this type of role - Office politics very bad. Coworker can’t figure out how to do their job after being there for 3 years. This sets everyone else behind, but instead of firing them, everyone else has to take on that person’s workload. Often times rude as well. - Wasn’t told we were paid in arrears until after I started working there and had signed an apartment lease. Had to wait 3 weeks before getting a single paycheck.
