Dead End Job With No Prospects For Development

Look elsewhere

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on job function there is an opportunity to work remotely. Random days off and depending on job function work life balance are positives.

Cons

Pay is significantly lower than the market. This is certainly not a place to make a career due to this and the lack of any advancement opportunities. There is no bonus and no formal development opportunities for my job function. The "culture" is equally laughable, uninspiring and can be toxic during busy holiday seasons. US based employees who leave are replaced offshore. The product is not innovative, service is not swift or responsive, and the company is one motivated competitor away from becoming second tier.

Pros

Absolutely none. I’d rather kill myself than work there for another day.

Cons

Everything. Take your pick. Get Directors that know how to do their job to start.
