Pros
- Okay Benefits, Just updated to have paid family leave. - Some Friendly Coworkers - Flexible work environment
Cons
(I personally believe most of this is specific to our business unit) - Entitled Middle management (this is a select few employees, not all) - act like they always know better and talk down to lower employees. Will tell you off for something minor, and if you do the same to them, they just say - talk to my manager about it (but they don't do that for you). - Senior Management has a habit of micromanaging, also shifting blame to people who technically shouldn't be held responsible (i.e. if you aren't the program manager & someone doesn't know something - it's not your fault). They also don't have a lot of respect for your time - COVID was not beneficial for meetings that involved two of the remaining senior management staff. Consistently took more time, and were only cut short if they had something else going on. Meetings were also rather pointless and didn't always necessarily need to happen. - Poor communication - Can't send an email to senior management without having to follow up with a call/text/message to check if they had a chance to review it. I understand people are busy, but figure out a system where things aren't getting lost... - There is an expectation that you work long hours, some even on the weekends. Even if you do this, you're not recognized or rewarded, but if you don't do it, you're not given new opportunities. - No boundaries or personal time. Will get calls on the weekend, early morning (before 7) and evenings for things that can easily be addressed the next work day. - Lots of favoritism towards certain employees -Nepotism -Low pay - lots of turnover - If you make one small mistake - senior and some middle management write you off and you have to work extremely hard to get back in their good graces
