Pros

Salary was great. My coworkers were amazing

Cons

My manager was horrible. She didn't know how to manage people, but was great at her job, so got promoted. Leadership didn’t care about the lower levels of workers. Constantly reminded you that “they were leadership” and “you were not.” Felt like they “wanted your feedback” but then when you gave it, and it was negative, there was defensiveness that you “weren’t falling in line”. Overall, the culture of the business was quite toxic in my opinion.

Pros

There are a few great managers here, but they are few and far between. Good amount of sick pay.

Cons

Underpaid for the role. Just another cog in the machine to get tasks done. If you don’t have seniority, but are being mistreated by individuals who are more senior, be ready to shoulder the blame for errors even if you are new. The lack of training is astounding, especially for some departments that are expanding. Lots of koolaid drinking. If you care about being kind and authentic, be careful which team you land with. Take your time during the interview process.
