Pros

Good benefits - vacation time, cheap healthcare premiums.

Cons

Incompetent co-workers, no accountability, you are an employee number, they don't care about the people who do the work but just about the work being done. The pay is a joke, you could start out making more at McDonald's. College education is not necessary, I've done more complicated work from things I've bought at IKEA.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
