Pros

Decent employee benefits, health, vision, dental.

Cons

Told management I was having trouble focusing one week (what I now know to be a symptom of depression which I have taken medication for off and on over the course of my adult life) they brushed this aside and told me everyone deals with that and I need to just basically suck it up. I had 99.9% perfect attendance over 2 and a half years, worked off the clock when asked to, covered shifts for other absent employees, helped out whenever asked even folks outside of our department or at an entirely different account, and was still treated like a delinquent employee. Never did anything ethically or morally wrong or against company policy. I have made mistakes, yes, but I am only human. Deliberately kept out of the loop on goings-ons of my department and then this was held against me. There was an individual who had allegations of sexual misconduct brought up against them who was given more consideration than me (politely asked to resign whereas I was terminated). Worked under borderline abusive treatment from management (had multiple individuals come forward expressing concern on my behalf for the way I was being spoken to.) Was too afraid to report out of fear of making my life even more difficult. Then HR turned on me and told me they had received no such complaints (bald-faced lie). Very poor communication all around. Inconsistent and double standards in disciplinary actions. I would be written up for things I'd witnessed others do. I would be blamed for mistakes of the department even when it was due to things beyond my control.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
