Pros

It's a job that where you get paid. Downtime to talk with/interact with coworkers, managers don't mind if you shoot the bull. Paid time to complete volunteer projects

Cons

Promotions can be random and is not reflective of actual performance. Monotonous work - requires critical thinking level of an average high school student. Management puts great pressure on reducing overtime, yet does not implement any sort of flex scheduling for associates. Unresponsive to suggestions Marginal compensation - they've even decreased starting salaries for new hires.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
