Pros

- most of the people were nice - nice lunch room

Cons

- you’re expected to do the jobs of about 15 people. Including running errands for the executives but you’re also not supposed to leave your desk. - if you have children or are nursing. Everyone is going to let you know how inconvenient it is for them. They will even kindly bang on the door of your nursing room. I literally had to buy a portable pump and do it at my desk because of constant comments. Going to HR is pointless because half the comments came from them. - anytime you express you’re being upset or concerned with something it’s taken as you’re being disrespectful. They think everything has an ulterior motive. - management plays favorites and they don’t hide it. If you’re part of the in crowd you can do whatever you want and speak to people however you like with no consequences - they love to talk about work life balance but if your infant gets sick they’ll ask you to clarify why you need to stay home. Because you know, infants can stay home sick alone! - pay was abysmal. For taking the rude comments and abuse it is NOT worth it. - diversity and inclusion is hilarious. Most of upper management is extremely racist. When you report it you then have their assistants tell you that they say they will never speak to you again and will make your life harder. If you go back to HR with this they will just say where’s your proof and ignore you.

Pros

Paid Holidays with Floating Holidays. Some decent coworkers with positive attitudes. Benefits are decent if you are single. This is a great place to start your career, but don't stick around too long.

Cons

Poor employee morale in Corporate office. If you like to hear managers refer to their staff as deadbeats, then is the place for you. Everyone is a suspect . Underpaid, no raises because there is never any money, but the workload increases and the cost benefits. If you build relations with upper management then you are golden. The motto is " you should be thankful to have a job here." There is no room for new ideas. As long as you agree with management and don't challenge with new ideas then you will be ok. There is absolutely zero communication of any kind of company events or current happenings for employees. Zero opportunities for professional growth, they want you to come in with top notch skills but too cheap to develop their employees. No work and personal life balance.

Pros

Okay Office, most co-workers are easy to get a long with and nice lunch room.

Cons

Micromanaged, Low Pay, Staff are treated unequal (experience and high knowledgeable people with degrees that work 40+ hours make less money than the secretary), limited to no flexibility in the schedule, Management is very self absorbed and could careless about staff, lack of communication, Management does not care about what you have to contribute as they have their own agenda and will brush you off, no recognition of accomplished staff, no growth opportunities, no raises, and finally, the Management only care about the numbers and not how to get to those numbers. The process is nonexistent and when things go wrong, do not expect your leadership to have your back.
