Pros

I heard great things about this company and was eager to join. They have awesome accounts, which look amazing on your resume. The job was easy to get and seemed very promising as far as career goals.

Cons

HORRIBLE communication between management and regular employees micromanaging contradicting rules FAVORITISM is at an all time high If you're ever up for a promotion and management doesn't want to consider you they will write you up for something as simple as being 30 seconds late.(write ups disqualify you from promos) Promotions are based on who they like, not who can do the job

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
