Pros

the benefits were for the most part very good, if you were told about them.peer employees were almost always willing to help you in a pinch.

Cons

the only way to be promoted is to have a "good old boy" go to bat for you or be a good old boy yourself. your customer is only there to become a dumping ground for whatever is the latest and greatest new overpriced product that can be shoved down their throat. respect from upper management is non-existent at best and you don't get much more from your immediate supervisors either.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
