Things are not always what they seem

Pros

Fantastic ancillary benefits: home office allowance, continuing education opportunity, FSA, Commuter benefits, home internet & cell phone reimbursement. Three weeks vacation per year, plus sick pay.

Cons

Don’t let these great benefits fool you, though. The group I reported into was highly toxic and micromanaged. I was yelled at, told to just do my job and not ask questions, berated and questioned for everything, priorities constantly changed - oh, this program didn’t work, let’s try that…all the time. I went to HR and leadership about this situation and NOTHING was done. I was told by the President to tell the person berating me that their behavior was not acceptable and they needed to adjust their approach. We are adults and I honestly should not have had to do that. The fact that so many people left the company because if one person’s behavior and nothing was done to address it was enough of a message to me to leave the company.

Unkept Promises

Pros

I met several smart, ambitious people who were passionate about the work they were doing.

Cons

This company practices wage suppression. During my tenure I never saw any kind of wage increase or bonus, despite promises from the CEO at one point to evaluate employee compensation and adjust for new market rates. The company announced at an All Hands meeting that they were going to implement a formal review process but a year went by and nothing happened. Without a process in place there is no platform for discussion of achievements, areas for improvement, raises, or goal setting. There is little room for negotiation. And no way to really measure how you are performing. You're on your own here. Whomever considers working at this company I advise you to negotiate for the highest salary you can get because you won’t see it rise. Edit: I would like to add that I did ask my supervisor for an individual performance review, and was denied
