Pros

Paycheck pension benefits holidays money

Cons

Where do I start. The constant worrying of having a job? The constant terrible management. Busting my butt, Working unpaid overtime and holidays to get fired for a measly covid policy infraction???? Just terrible. Nobody has the “fortitude” there to make the correct judgment calls. KDK said it himself. The company will never be a “great company”. Thats true. Because they are so pathetic they fire their best employee because he was too dedicated. No warning no nothing. Just goodbye. Figure it out. Don’t worry we have people just sitting on their cell phones or surfing the internet while this persons busts their butt working weekends (unpaid) to make sure tasks are done. After people fired this person has reached out to all of the upper management to explain the story and to hopefully right the wrong here. Not one reply. Good luck Chem lab. There is so much wrong with the people there.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
