a great place to be constantly overlooked, overwhelmed, and disregarded!
Pros
pros: you’ll have amazing colleagues who are willing to go the mile for you (if they’re not racist or sexist), clients make the job worth suffering for. two stars are for the wonderful people i met there.
Cons
cons: management, the culture, the company. you’re working for a company that wants to be a big corporation, their turnover is a reflection of the culture. they will take advantage of freshly graduated college students, so take advantage of them. my experience with this company was tense form the interview stages, to the first day, and my unpredictable last day. from the beginning of my time with blazerworks/soliant, i was completely ignored by the manager in charge (who has landed that title despite there being a million other managers in the same position with similar tenure). i was held to unclear expectations, forced to ask for 1:1s and meetings with my team leads because they couldn’t be bothered to talk to me, and took on responsibilities that only seemed to hurt me in the end. i was constantly overlooked when it came time to gain new clients, but always the first to be picked for the extra work of watching over those clients when their account managers would take leave. i was under utilized and again, ignored by management, for the entirety of my short lived career there before the layoffs happened. the company “restructured,” and i was let go (a surprise to the managers who worked with me in office) by a manager who had only spoken to me twice during my time there. not only were the “layoffs” extremely insensitive by letting members of the team go one by one while everyone else was off to lunch or out of office so we couldn’t say our goodbyes, the company has routine monthly firings on the recruiting team. you know that your time is limited in this company, it’s not a job worth using your ideas or enthusiasm for. play the game, management is already winning at it.
