Revolving Door

Pros

Each employee is given a laptop, which is great to work from home or to take along to client meetings....or home to work nights/weekends. Benefits are ok.

Cons

From my experience, employees are hired for a job and remain in that position until they get fed up with the lower than competition pay, expected overtime, and lack of work-life balance and leave. Drafters are seen more as nameless, replaceable faces to get the job done than beneficial human assets to the company. If you are one to be married to your job or use your work to avoid your home life, you'll fit in here - especially if you have no aspirations of promotions or advancing your skills.

Toxic Work Environment

Pros

Work from home flexibility since the pandemic. Team members within my department were great to work with.

Cons

Toxic leaders that are manipulating and narcissistic. Hierarchy proud. Treat those at lower level disrespectfully. Low salary for the excessive hours. They falsely promote a “4 day work week” and you are harassed if you take any PTO and are given deadlines as late as 1 hour before 5pm and expected to have projects that take normally weeks ready the following day. Poor communication between leaders and supervisors. Basically ignored from leadership. Health and safety is of no concern. You will be emotionally abused and burnt out and HR does not care so don’t bother reaching out. You are expected to do tasks constantly outside of your job description. Leader has asked inappropriate questions and you will be contacted on the weekends on your time off and be expected to work weekends. Your personal health information is shared when it should be kept private. Higher ups manipulate situations and when things go wrong, those at the bottom of the hierarchy are blamed to take the heat off themselves. Highly unorganized leaders and have a history of burning bridges with clients and other work related relationships.

Terrible Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- Lots of work and opportunity to learn and grow - No work on Fridays ( though this was not always the case due to workload)

Cons

-I can't speak for all offices, but the Sacramento office was terrible. A lot of information is given during onboarding with no real way to absorb it, afterwards you're basically on your own to figure everything out. -Everyone was overworked, working multiple extra hours. -Constant turnover meant projects were hardly ever seen all the way through, so understanding the genesis of ideas, and gathering background info was next to impossible. -Everyone just kind of did their own thing, it really did not feel like one office. -You're treated like a number, and as soon as the numbers aren't adding up that's it.
