Besides some of the petty and gossipy members of leadership in all offices, the workload will drive you absolutely insane. You can easily work 12 hour days almost everyday and weekends because you’ll never be able to get your work done during normal business hours or with working overtime during the week. And if you try to leave the office on time each evening, you’ll get dirty looks and people assume you just don’t have enough work to do. When you finally are fed up enough to bring up the workload issue to your manager they will pretend that they will work to lessen your workload (and never do) or tell you to ask for help from other team members (who are also swamped and could never help you). And the best part is that when you’re doing well, they reward you with more accounts/work.
When you try to take a vacation, you’re made to feel guilty and most times end up having to do some work or be constantly checking your email or getting calls from your team mates or supervisors.
When it comes time for a promotion or a raise for all of your grueling work - forget it. They’ll make up all kinds of excuses to not promote you/give you a raise.
In all honestly after working here for a few years, my anxiety was at an all time high. I cried at work at least twice a week and after leaving for a new company, it took me about a year to get rid of the feelings of PTSD I had from working here. Most people are miserable here and they know it and try to give you bagels and pizza parties and “unlimited PTO” to make up for it.
If you’re desperate and just starting out in your career, I could see why you might choose this place out of desperation but please please beware.
