I've never worked at a company, or more specifically for a team before that ripped and shredded me to my core.
Team Cons:
-Unrealistic expectations and deadlines
-Emails and text messages at 10PM
-No flexibility/work-life balance
-Be expected to work 12 hour days because "that's just the industry"
-Scolded for taking time off and fear of requesting PTO
-No respect or gratitude for hard work and hours put into projects
-Toxic work environment; the constant feeling that you're walking on eggshells
-No clear signal on when it is acceptable to close your laptop and end the day
-Pretty much being set up for failure
-No satisfaction from boss; nothing is ever good enough
-Constantly blamed for things that go wrong (whether minor or on a larger scale), but ohhhhh it's never my boss's fault when something goes wrong on their end
-Hostile comments, made to feel incompetent, talked down to etc.
-No mentorship and no support from boss
-No rewards or incentives such as being able to leave early, happy hours, lunches etc.
Company Cons:
-Pretentious
-Dry and dull environment
-Forced unnatural conversations in the break-room when you're just trying to fill up your water cup
-No company culture
- If you don't contribute to golf or sports conversations or activities, you're considered lame (however that may just be the CRE industry in general)
-Person(s) in charge of HR WILL NOT fight for you or other employees. They will try to remain as neutral as possible. NO BACK BONE.
