Toxic environment- STAY AWAY

Pros

Looks decent on a resume

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment and culture. They will work you until you're past your breaking point, with no reward or even a "thank you" in sight. Leadership in certain divisions have been in their positions for 15+ years, creating a hostile environment not open to new ideas. If you're not one of the "favorites", good luck, you'll never be promoted, and will be bullied until you're out the door. HR in this company is useless. They will always take the side of the higher level employee, no matter what the situation is, and reprimand the employee with the lower title. Stay far away from this place. The company is tanking anyway.

Pros

- Hybrid (remote 2 days a week and on-site three days ) - Nice benefits package - Discounts

Cons

- VERY disorganized, cheap company that will not hire more employees even when it’s necessary - strong disconnect with managers and senior managers - insane work load (you are given the responsibility of dealing with 1,800+ employees on your own) - terrible, unprofessional training (they take you into a conference room to be trained by a fellow co worker, no one in onboarding) - micro-management - high turn over - overtime is glorified - work load feels like a never ending cycle - you are told to ask questions and it may be ok to make mistakes until you actually and it becomes a problem - improper communication amongst co-workers / cliquey - Sr. managers make you feel incompetent and inadequate - Lack of determination of what true constructive criticism while explaining perception of low performance - Deliberately threatening to fire employees
