Work–life balance is not prioritized, and extended hours are treated as an expectation rather than an exception.
Pros
Got to meet some great individuals thay will soon find a better opportunity.
Cons
There was no work–life balance, and diversity and inclusion were not genuinely practiced. Inappropriate relationships and unprofessional conduct were allowed to take place in the workplace. Ongoing issues that had existed for months and even years were consistently swept under the rug. Unrealistic expectations were placed on employees, holding them to high standards while leadership simultaneously asked supervisors to be cautious in addressing performance or behavior issues to avoid employees walking off their assignments. There were clear inconsistencies in leadership’s approach, disciplinary actions, and timelines, all of which negatively impacted productivity. As a new supervisor, I was expected to take responsibility for 39 employees and inherit longstanding issues that had been circulating within the departments for years. Gossip and a lack of discipline were the only consistent aspects of the work environment. Management was also a significant challenge, operating with a constant sense of urgency while failing to empower or support those responsible for execution.
