Pros
You have a job and benefits while the bare minimum of your needs are met.
Cons
Our leadership team is condescending and has a profound lack of awareness to common employees. The everyday needs, limitations, concerns, and difficulties of our lower level employees who keep the machine running are not taken into consideration. We are expected to blindly follow the group and pretend to be happy even when our needs are not being met. There is so much outdated thinking here and leadership seems scared to grow in their viewpoints and understand the younger generation of workers. Gas prices are at an all time high, home prices near our centers are skyrocketing, there is a lack of childcare for our working parents and rising childcare costs, healthcare costs even with insurance is unaffordable. What is Ally’s response to all of these valid concerns that our common workers deal with everyday? They force us to commute into office to sit alone at our desks on zoom calls half the day and talk to team members who are not even at our site. They don’t care that having anxiety, ADHD, depression, or autism makes it difficult for us to function in a bright loud room full of constant movement, distractions, and a lack of personal space but then they pretend they are mental health friendly by putting out fake articles that don’t help. They don’t care when they force us into office to get sick and don’t understand that we aren’t all on executive salaries to afford the doctor bills and loss of pay when we are out absent for a sickness we got from being crammed in office. They don’t care that when factoring in gas, cubicle lunches, and office wardrobes, we are paying $700 a month just to be able to work. IF you have one child, factor in at least another $1200 for daycare. If you have a school aged child, at least $400 for after school since you are in office until 530 – 6. If they cared, the pay would at least be better for forcing us into office. The pay is incredibly low for the industry. They don’t care that we are already spreading sickness rapidly in their cramped offices because the CEO and executives are safe and comfortable in their luxurious private offices and at home. They have lush salaries, hired help, better healthcare, and a nice quiet, private place to be able to concentrate on their work. We could have had that comfortability in our environment and autonomy at home, where we were proving we perform better at home, but they ripped it out from under us so they can control us. This job is not worth it to be forced to socialize and pretend you are happy. They keep telling us that they asked employees in the office and they are happy to be back in office, that is so far from true. Please stop lying to us and yourselves.
