Pros
Great work location, extracurricular events/opportunities, travel benefits, and healthcare benefits.
Cons
The work environment is highly political, toxic, and lacks psychological safety. I reported to a supervisor with no formal leadership experience who consistently communicated in a condescending and demeaning manner. Their management style created an anxiety-driven, timid work environment where employees felt hesitant to speak up, ask questions, or make reasonable mistakes. My manager enabled this behavior rather than addressing it. Advancement and recognition are heavily tied to visibility, self-promotion, and personal relationships with senior leaders. One-on-one meetings and “face time” are heavily prioritized. Employee well-being is consistently deprioritized in favor of high net worth/VIP/high touch guests, or senior leadership demands, and individuals are easily blamed or punished regardless of circumstances. Expectations set were often unrealistic and at times bizarre, reinforcing a race-to-the-top culture driven by internal politics.
