Pros

Great benefits/perks, casual dress code, hybrid/remote flexibility. Competitive pay

Cons

Never in my life have I worked for an organization with such terrible leaders…Ranging anywhere from yelling at individuals, harassing people for asking questions/ saying the wrong things, being set up for failure, manipulation, blatant lying, singling people out for no apparent reason, and trashing colleagues behind their back. What’s even more sad is that countless people talk about it but nothing changes. This behavior stems from one particular individual but it has trickled down over time and seems to have rubbed off on their subordinates. The immaturity in the organization is apparent as you constantly overhear gossip. Conversations that should be held privately are done out in the open. On top of that, no one has a clue what’s going on and they just seem to laugh about it. Everyone is always confused in meetings and you’ll end up talking in circles. That is…if they show for the meeting since punctuality and common courtesy is a joke here. You’ll get laughed at if you even mention the word training…there is no such thing. If you are okay turning a blind eye to toxic and unethical behavior, you’ll be okay. But if you have a soul, run and never look back.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
