Pros

Some good people at company

Cons

- Upper management hides behind controlled access doors that only they can open. Other corporate employees do not have access to their "special" area of the facility. - There is no formal system in place to voice complaints to Human Resources department. - The following are specific to my department: - Asking a question to a co-worker is not allowed, if you have a question about anything you must ask the manager directly. - Using the restroom is frowned upon and raises the suspicion of the department head. - It is strongly encouraged and implied that you can eat lunch at your desk..... hint hint - Taking a quick break to grab a coffee with your co-worker is unacceptable to dept head - Having a quick conversation with your co-worker about how their day is going is frowned upon - Taking PTO during the holiday season is not allowed - The workload is unrealistic and it is expected that you will stay in until 7PM every day.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, though not exceptional. Many of the coworkers are supportive and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and consistency. Communication was often unreliable, with delayed or nonexistent responses to emails and messages. Training sessions were frequently interrupted or started late, and there were no clear process documents or structured onboarding materials in place, which made it difficult to succeed in the role. I also experienced inappropriate and concerning comments during my time there, including remarks about hiring decisions that referenced race. This created an uncomfortable and unprofessional work environment. Overall, the lack of structure, accountability, and professional communication made the role challenging and unsustainable.
