Pros

Big company, Good pay, decent team members

Cons

There were like 2 supervisors and 2 managers for a small office of like 20 people or less which did not make sense. I felt like I was being watched by all of them all the time. My manager would constantly (strongly) hint for me to tell on other coworkers to her every time we had a one on one, but that was just not me. My team was pretty great. Workload was pretty heavy and I would always work overtime on my own time because I could never finish everything due to all the meetings and calls I had to do throughout the day and due to not being fully staffed we would have to cover for other teams. I told my manager that I was so busy and she basically told me that I should be "lucky to have a job in the pandemic" because so many other people didn't. I was very thankful and tried my best, to be honest. Also they would fire at least one person each month while I was there and they were people that have been there for 15+ years. To me, thats crazy.
