Pros
Ability to work remotely, decent sign on bonus
Cons
1) No work life balance. You are expected to work overtime almost everyday and in many cases, the weekends. The problem stems from the fact that this company is understaffed. 2) Manager had behavioral issues (frequent mood swings). I have been yelled at for a slight misunderstanding I had. Yes, I made a mistake on my end, but the way she handled the situation was highly inappropriate. The role of a manager is to provide constructive criticism and encourage the employee to grow and improve. Overall, she was not very encouraging. 3) Short onboarding period. My specific role was listed as entry level and less than 3 months of training was provided (after factoring in the holidays). I agree that 3 months is reasonable for most companies. However, expecting the new hire to learn the ins and outs of the company, be fully independent, and take on the same responsibilities of the manager within that timespan is not realistic whatsoever. Is it not reasonable to provide 3 months for the new hire to learn as much as he/she can and then allow them to continue improving and ask questions after that period? If you absolutely love working long hours then this is the place for you. Otherwise, if you value work-life balance, then I would not recommend Relation.
