Cons
Interviewed 2 times for a posted job with 8 people. Had a great experience in the interview and was offered a job different from what I interviewed for. I never received a job description and ended up having to write it myself. After 3 months I worked with 1 of the 8 people I interviewed with. On my 2nd day one of those people were fired with no explanation as to why. Terrible health insurance. Somehow my insurance was enrolled in twice and I was charged twice. It took 2 months to receive an insurance card so I could even use the insurance. The division I was moved into with the 3rd Manager I had in 4 months was a toxic environment due to leadership. The biggest issue was a power struggle of who is in charge. In order for me to do my work I need to get "alignment" from 3 division heads. It was difficult to get everyone together to review work at one time so when I would make a decision based on meeting with 2 out of the 3 groups the 3rd person left out would interrogate as to why they were left out. I couldn't win with getting "alignment" by the given due dates as it would be a bigger issue if a date was missed. No regard for COVID safety. Required employees in the office to be in small closed door meeting rooms without wearing masks and no vaccination requirement. Corporate guidelines said that virtual links were required but when I would join from my desk due to wanting to keep distance I would be called to have to come into the room. In a cross functional corporate meeting I had to listen to someone going off on a rant about how people need to get over these COVID concerns when concerns were brought up. A leader came from Texas to speak in the auditorium to speak and the direction from management regarding the packed audience was that not enough people were there in person and we need to make sure to attend (a link was provided for viewing but they don't want it to be used). Petty and disrespectful environment. It was commonplace to be asked to contribute to lists of complaints on people that they didn't like and review their concerns with management. Sometimes that person would find out and elevate to HR which would drop that issue. Other times management would talk to the person that has a list of complaints about them to their face and also say the concerns are petty without passing any legit concerns along creating an environment full of drama and gossip. Weekly meetings would be held with as task masters giving out to do lists to the group along with deadlines. Afterwards separate email different direction would be sent with a different direction and cc management as if something was done wrong. Not a team environment; was a witch hunt to accuse everyone but themselves of doing things incorrectly. Turn time for work was unrealistic. Products would be received and expected to be evaluated, reviewed with team and full feedback sent the next day. Usual pace for that at other companies is 5-7 days. Work hours ended up being very long as there was not enough staff to complete the work. Very bland and cold white male environment. Literally the temperature is too cold. Women's bathrooms do not even have feminine hygiene products. I was in a meeting where a manager actually said "white men are becoming extinct" in a presentation. My final manager before joining the company got all the gossip on everyone and started to influence people before he even came. I was told to stay away from certain people as they were working on getting them fired. I had to watch him sneak around my desk on my last day so he could tell his boss that I was there so he could fire me. Even though to my face he told me things will get better. This is just a few examples of the toxicity. I hear other areas are better to work in.
