Pros

You get a pay check and it’s something to put on your resume.

Cons

Where do I even start. This company does not pay well at all, paying entry level employees a salary of 30k is an absolute joke. No wonder nobody stays here for more than a year or two as I noticed there is a very high turnover. Your expected to work very and I mean very long hours at times if not most of the time. Management is clueless as they seriously have no idea as to how to manage a team professionally. You don’t get paid lunches. The training for the job is a joke as it did not prepare me well for the job itself. The environment can feel toxic at times. Seriously do yourself a favor and never work for this company because it’s a waste of your time.

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
