Pros

You fill out a timecard and get money afterwards

Cons

Bottom of the barrel on salaries, you can do amazingly and you still will only get a few percentages of a raise at most (you most likely will just get a 1%, if that, raise). Zero bonuses. Due to high inflation you are actually getting a smaller paycheck even if they're claiming they're "giving you a raise". Horrible managers. Terrible policies. Zero room for growth. Benefits are awful. Avoid

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand that compensation and benefits are key to job satisfaction, which is why we take the time to negotiate and ensure your needs are met before you even join the company. We also recognize that it can be challenging to discuss salary increases once you are on board, but with the right preparation and conversations, you can effectively advocate for more. Have you taken a look at the learning hub on the intranet? There are guidance documents for those conversations, which we call impact conversations. There are also learning paths to show where you can grow within the company based on your level and interests. One last resource you might want to consider is Mentor Connect. You never know when there may be some good advice someone has or even connections that can help you grow in unexpected ways. It may take some time to achieve your goals and aspirations, but persistence pays off. -AS
