Pros

Benefits, great management, teammates were helpful

Cons

Workload was overwhelming, lack of training on day-to-day tasks, training on overview of company was extremely overwhelming. Hustle training program was 8a-5p zoom meetings for 4 weeks and didn't prepare me for my actual role/position. I worked remote but had entirely too much of a workload to only work 40 hours a week.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
