Pros

I made real friends here. My coworkers were the only bright part of this place.

Cons

There is no real path to grow in this company because favoritism and family connections run the show. Skill does not matter. Hard work does not matter. Advancement goes to the chosen ones, not the people who actually earn it. On top of that, the workload is pushed far beyond what anyone is paid for, leaving people worn down and drained. The whole system feels unfair and completely discouraging.

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
