Pros
You will be trauma bonded for life with your colleagues.
Cons
When you walk into the office, you can immediately feel the tension and hostility. Almost everyone that starts here goes through the same cycle: excitement during the first few days, followed by self-doubt and questioning your own ability. By your second week you will realize that you are not the problem, it is the company and the leadership that is the problem. Leadership creates an environment where employees are constantly made to feel dumb and incapable. Leadership does not care about a single employee and will always side of the client, even if you did nothing wrong. The way leadership speaks to people is inappropriate and demeaning. You will feel icky hearing stories about how people are treated/have been treated in the past and your name/work being associated with someone who is capable of treating people that way. Some of the events you plan/attend are exciting and at fun venues, but you can’t fully enjoy them as you are micromanaged and worried about how you will be scrutinized or the millions of other tasks that need to be done for your other clients. Employees are constantly thrown into additional clients without any consideration of your bandwidth or availability. The expectations are unrealistic, you will be reprimanded for not responding to emails within minutes, even if you are actively working an event. Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before I accepting the role, but I urge you to read and believe them. She has not and will not change.
