Unhealthy Culture and Misaligned Expectations – Proceed with Caution
Pros
Competitive pay but below standards and benefits for technical roles. Some talented, hardworking peers who genuinely care about their work. Modern infrastructure initiatives underway (Meraki, Cisco, cloud migrations).
Cons
Leadership creates a toxic and intimidating environment where communication is one-sided and support is minimal. Unrealistic job expectations not aligned with actual job descriptions — including being asked to perform unsafe physical labor outside a technical role. Lack of transparency and respect from management; constructive feedback often ignored or met with hostility. ADA accommodations and employee wellness concerns are not handled appropriately or compassionately. Performance “improvement” plans are used as termination tools rather than development opportunities
