Pros

Great teammates, feeling like I was working for a cause I truly believed in

Cons

I received next to no training as well as very little, if any, substantive coaching on how to do my job. I should've known when I'd asked in the interview process how success was measured and I was told "the quality of the work" rather than specific benchmarks that the position I was working for was extremely nebulous and hard to define. When my supervisor told me they were unsatisfied with my performance, I asked for concrete examples on how I could improve and was given none. When I reached out to HR to help navigate conversations with my supervisor how to move forward productively, I felt optimistic - until the next day, when I was completely shut down. I was told that the accommodations I'd requested as an attempt to optimize my performance would "take too much time" out of my supervisor's day, which left me feeling like there was next to no desire in optimizing my output, defining the expectations and responsibilities of my role, and ensuring that I was given the tools to succeed.
