They always say that work is what you make it. If you find positives and meaning in your work, you'll probably love your job. If you don't, then you'll likely hate it. I think the only exception to that rule is what kind of management you're working with. Most people leave bad managers and this place is full of them. Granted, there are some great ones. But those who supervise the majority of the staff at PV are not so great.
I felt personally victimized by my manager. I was insulted (for nothing that had to do with my job by the way) during a review, ganged up on during a team meeting with no intervention from my manager whatsoever, ostracized by my coworkers, and ultimately left with no choice but to find another job or just completely lose my marbles. I was hired in at an entry level, received no training from anyone on how to do my job, but I was still held accountable for mistakes that I made. My manager sought out opportunities to make me feel like an idiot. The idea of learning through being told what to do and accomplishing a job efficiently was less important than learning the humiliation of messing up.
My case was not a fluke, either. I've never seen so many adults cry in a workplace. You could just be walking down the hall, grabbing a discounted $3 latte, and catch a biller bawling her eyes out by the bathroom.
Outside of managers that lack empathy and understanding and have unfortunately found themselves in a leadership role, there were some other minor issues during my stint at PV. You'd have these few people who just kind of wandered around all day talking to their friends. Since it's all "open" that was pretty hard to miss. The team concept is great, but if you have any poor leaders at the helm of that team, things can get very cliquey and petty fast.
