Pros

The colleagues were the best part of the job. It took a while to get in with them, but once I did, the staff below management were very friendly and supportive

Cons

The company has a habit of piling on extra responsibilities under the guise of being ‘temporary,’ only to make them permanent without any additional pay or recognition. They claim to be ‘all about the people,’ but in reality, senior management and HR show little genuine care for staff. Departments are divided, with a strong ‘that’s not my job’ culture. While they promote plenty of career growth opportunities, these only seem to apply to those who are already in favor with management. Most managers are ineffective — they don’t step in to help, they just point fingers or throw staff under the bus. At the very top, one individual controls everything, and the culture of fear means no one dares challenge unreasonable demands.

Pros

The hours and pay were acceptable. It was close to home so the commute was good. They had decent healthcare and retirement benefits that kicked in shortly after starting work there.

Cons

The people are very snobbish and backstabbing. Very negative work environment. Very cliquish. No team work. No support from management or Human Resources. People always looking over their shoulder afraid of losing their job.
