The Upside Down

Pros

+My coworkers are pretty much the only thing that keeps me going. Oh, and free bagels on Saturday’s. +Health benefits. Beats Obamacare (still love you though, Obama)

Cons

Are you ready...? +Managers micromanage and try to find more ways of doing so. And it’s so unnecessary. +HR isn’t good for anything. You come to them with an issue and leave with a “good luck” pat on the back. So surprised this company hasn’t had a lawsuit filed against them yet. +Overworked and underpaid. They expect us to photograph hundreds of products a day as if we’re robots. +As a “job well done” gift, they give you candy. What, are we five years old? We are grown. For a company that makes “$2M/day”, I want more than on-sale candy. +Lack of communication between managers and departments. +If you voice your concern to managers and challenge them in any way, they mark you as an enemy. Any suggestions for how to make production flow better is automatically dismissed (they tell you that they’ve tried every alternative and say it doesn’t work but won’t explain why it doesn’t work). +The Photo studio is filled with (you guessed it) photographers. Talented and creative individuals. Yet they seek external candidates to assist and/or produce the creative shoots. +No real room for advancement.
