Superficial & Toxic Working Culture and discriminatory against those with mental illnesses

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and bonuses and work life balance (8:30-5:30)

Cons

Low pay, discrimination against mental illness like anxiety and the company will use numerous reasons to terminate your contract once they find out. Even if you’re medicated and declared fit for work after a psych evaluation, they won’t accept it. The company prides itself on fairness and does not discriminate.
