Pros
- I learned a lot by being over-worked and left to flounder among a sea of obligations and responsibilities. - Nothing stresses me out anymore because I've been as stressed as I can get. - I know my professional worth.
Cons
-Payment for work is not processed on time, and can take months or more before being issued correctly. -Staff are overworked, and under appreciated, with management eager for you to take on extra work with no recognition or incentive. -Fresh ideas are not accepted. - There is no sense of teamwork, and even if you try and introduce teamwork, it is not accepted. The 'teams' function as separate entities with no knowledge of what is happening across the business as a whole. Even teams that SHOULD be working together do not. - The limited amount of brainstorming that happens in meetings is solely centered around short-term revenue and ROI. If your idea is not an immediate fix, or costs money, it will not be considered. -Meetings are held unnecessarily, and at ridiculous times. -It is expected you work overtime, weekends, and public holidays to meet company demands without benefits or payment. - Requests to meet with management to discuss issues are either flatly ignored, or shot down before they occur. - The CEO is continuously absent (more than half the year) on 'business' trips that in no way benefit the business itself. He is hard to contact, let alone meet with, and when present in meetings has no idea how his business is functioning, or the various facets that help keep his business running. He is disrespectful and rude to his staff, and that of of other companies, dismissive of complaints and ignorant to his teams and business identity. - HR is almost non-existent, and flatly ignore harassment, even when the same issue is formally submitted multiple times. To be frank, if you're offered the chance to work here, go after a place where you know your skills and professionalism will be appreciated. This company does not appreciate travel for the true value of seeing the world, but is happy to take money from those who do. If you choose to work here because you love travel, take your passion elsewhere.
