Pros
Super friendly and helpful coworkers. Team leads who are some of the hardest working folks. Generous benefits. I loved going into the lunchroom and getting a can or two of sparkling water from the machine without needing a coin.
Cons
Training is only as good as the trainer. The charming trainer seemed to think I was too old to waste time teaching. Right behind the HR tape on forbidden behavior the trainers predatory behavior began. It was meant to distract from the trainers ineptness at teaching an older worker. The trainer never once asked what would help me succeed. The last day after being the trainers toy for 3 weeks the trainer made a sexual gesture. In hindsight and several postings on social media I suspect it was done to entrap. Never in my years have I witnessed or experienced the trainers inappropriate behavior. I was caught off guard. Training and HR are interconnected. My decision to not go to HR was spot on. HR corrupt to the core would protect this charming trainer . A new hire: who are you gonna tell and who is gonna believe you. I should have nailed the trainer the first time. After that it felt like I would only alarm the trainer. And soon after the behavior seemed normalized....but then in true predatory fashion escalated to a sexual gesture. The three weeks I was distracted and affected. I could not sleep and the second week forward everytime I ate I got sick. I stopped eating. I was sweeped up in the trainers abuse of power. I was traumatized.It took months of therapy to feel me again. So older worker no matter how happy you are about landing this job be very guarded. Beware of empty smiles.
