They’ll talk a big game and make it sound like the perfect place to work, but the reality is far from it. The benefits are poor, there’s no real work-life balance, and they expect you to put in extra hours even if you’re on salary. If you don’t, they’ll make you feel like you’re not a team player. If you have a family, look elsewhere—they don’t prioritize or support that. And when business slows down, they’re quick to start letting people go.
