its a job, not a career.

Sr. it specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many employees have been here for over 20 years, likely because they would struggle to find similar opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

Management seems to have closed the door on career development opportunities for employees at the lower levels of the organization. It's clear that many in leadership positions have advanced primarily due to tenure, rather than fostering growth for those beneath them. There’s a false sense of inclusivity and diversity when you look at who actually holds the top positions.

Terrible Environment, Boss lied about opportunities

Assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

It was a very cool and successful show to be a part of

Cons

My team lead and her boss were terrible. I came into the work pretty green (which they knew) and was told I would be taught everything and would get to sit in on a lot of cool meetings. Always asked if I could join these meetings and was always told no. Then I got let go for ‘not being interested in the work’, which had never been brought up to me before so I was not given a chance to counter. Did not feel like I was even able to advocate for myself to anyone. Meetings where always awkward and the team did not know how to work under this management.
