Worst job I've ever had

Pros

It's a job. One of the mangers working there actually seemed to care about the people working under him. Some of the people that work there are nice.

Cons

Departments are pitted against each other. If you make a mistake it is understood that you need to cover your own behind or blame someone else. None of the benefits from the success of the company are passed down to the employees. Be prepared to be treated like a child: office supplies are kept behind lock and key so you better have a good reason for needing a pen and you better not take more than your three allotted breaks per day (two 10 mins and a 30 min lunch which you have to punch out for and your bathroom breaks are included as part of the 10 min breaks). There are cameras everywhere in the office and you are definitely watched, there is no trust shown for employees.

Pros

They provide snacks, a small store, BBQ, recently acquired time off for the summer. HR was really driven to make working there a bit better.

Cons

No more HR. Executive team is a joke. You can go up the ranks to report a problem and I don't mean personal I mean business related to your employees problem. No one cares or listens and they would be willing to run you over with a bus and then back up over you again. All the while shaking their heads in agreement with the corporate team coming into town.

A lot of work needs to be done

Pros

Free food. Pay every two weeks. Company BBQs and other company "moral booster" events. It is a great getting out of college, getting your foot in the door kind of company.

Cons

The company is currently going through the SLOWEST reorg I have ever heard of. The training is lacking. Everyone does the same job completely different. It is like being in high school again. Don't expect a highly professional atmosphere, it isn't there. The office is consistently freezing making for a tough working environment. The elevator breaks down on almost a weekly basis. There is a complete lack of communication between all departments.
