Pros

-The friendships with your coworkers

Cons

-Deceptive practices: I made the mistake of believing that I was an exemplary employee and invested my heart into my role. They feigned interest in me, built me up, assured me of my positive performance regularly, manipulated me based on my strengths, and eventually eliminated me once they got what they needed. I was abandoned by my leaders in these moments; they really do follow the belief that everyone is replaceable. If you're lucky, you see it coming and quit before reaching this point. -High Turnover: Layoffs and firings are the norm. To stay employed here long-term, learn to master complete mental detachment so you can stomach the regular questionable decisions that require you to look the other way. -Management: With very few exceptions, management can not be trusted. Its best to simply do what is needed to gather a paycheck and ask for *everything* your leaders say in writing. Don't go over and above and don't let them know who you are- anything you share can be used to target you later. -Aftermath: You'll take away friendships, but you’ll leave this company either feeling relieved because you quit or psychologically mistreated and confused because you got thrown away.
