The worst place imaginable to work

Pros

Difficult to think of any

Cons

Very inflexible working hours Working overtime is required nearly daily. Expect to work late into the evening for no extra compensation or no ability to leave early later in the week to compensate for extra time worked during the week. Mangers treat employee with no respect. If you make a mistake they typically throw you under the bus to save their own skin. This sort of blame culture is rampant in PPD. Really toxic culture of cliques within the office which makes fitting in as a new employee extremely difficult. No sense of comradery, solidarity or team spirit in the company. Breaks are at a minimum. Managers will overload you with work rather than hire more staff and to cover their own back they insist you take your two breaks a day meanwhile you are working at least two or three hours of unpaid overtime a week just to get your work finished. Once you become a pernament employee there is still no paid overtime.

Pros

stability and good PTO package...if you stay here long enough

Cons

Underpaid, zero career development path, zero company culture. The company has essentially stripped away any type of work perks in the past few years as it has become more expensive to upkeep, even though the company has had tremendous growth.

Pros

Friendly staff , some teams can be lovely to work in. Good benefits provided by company. Can be a nice environment when management is not in.

Cons

Horrible and unorganised management, terrible leadership and training provided is non existent. Very big on blaming staff members instead of working as a team. High turn over of stuff in the company because there is a lack of development and communication between management. A lot of staff members leave because of the terrible lack of support from management. Standards have dropped majorly!
