Worst Job of My Life

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay and benefits were fine

Cons

I was disparaged and harrassed. Offices have personality cults - one interviewer told me 'NY office will eat me alive', with no follow up when I asked why. It was true, they did - I couldn't break into the cliques and I wasn't stylish enough. The back-biting was horrendous, like the meanest girl in HS times 100.

Pros

No one micromanages you, you can work as little or as much as you wanted. Overtime with your feet up.

Cons

No management present and therefore everyone did anything they wanted. Pure chaos
