Pros

• A few coworkers were supportive and helpful. • The work itself can be interesting, depending on the team.

Cons

Management communication is inconsistent and unclear, making expectations difficult to meet. • Support is minimal or nonexistent: despite asking multiple times for help with workload, requests were ignored. • Micromanagement is extreme, and goals are often nearly impossible to reach. If you hit a goal or exceed it one month, management raises it the next month to an even less attainable level, creating constant stress. • I had a baby the year I was fired and took the company-provided parental leave, yet I felt unfairly targeted and pressured upon returning. • I was let go on December 22nd, right before the holidays, with no sensitivity to timing or circumstance. • After I left, my responsibilities were reassigned as a “two-person territory” that I had been handling alone, yet management expected it to be managed solo. Any requests for help were dismissed with “everyone else does just fine,” even though the workload was unreasonable. You get told when you move up it’s a promotion yet no pay increase at all just that it’s a “promotion” you also need to apply to such jobs and interview for them instead of your work ethic showing that you would be a good candidate. If the manager hiring doesn’t like you or a friend of theirs doesn’t good luck landing that job.
